How to use the Existing SAGE 50 UK RentalPoint export files for import to SAGE UK Online

  2. Then, modify the files exported from RentalPoint before importing them to SAGE UK Online.  
  3. Next, use the Import Quick Entries option in SAGE Online to import the files.

Customers

  • Since SAGE Online will only import new customers, it is recommended that throughout the month, when you enter new customers into Rentalpoint, you should enter them into SAGE using the same customer code.  New customers must exist in SAGE before their invoices can be imported.
  • Alternatively, should you have a lot of new customers, you may choose to modify your customers export file from Rentalpoint following instructions at this link, however you must ensure all customers already existing in SAGE are removed from the file before importing Import Customers to SAGE UK Online
