To import sales invoices, sales quotes, or purchase orders from vendors or customers that use Sage 50 Accounting:

  1. Open your e-mail program as well as Sage 50 Accounting.
  2. Open the e-mail message containing the Sage 50 Accounting attachment from your vendor or customer.
  3. Save the attached IMP file (refer to the documentation for your e-mail program) and write down the location of the saved attachment.
  4. In the Sage 50 Accounting Home window, on the File menu, choose Import/Export, and Import Transactions.
  5. Select the Import Purchase Invoices/Quotes, Sales Invoices/Orders, Or Timeslips check box and click Next.
  6. Use the Import Transactions Wizard to complete the import.
  7. Click OK when the import is completed.
  8. Click Finish to close the wizard.

An alternate way to import a transaction is to open the IMP file with the Sage 50 Accounting program open on your computer desktop. This will trigger Sage 50 Accounting to automatically import the file.
