  • Created/Modified Date refers to when the transfer was originally entered into QuickBooks or last edited.

  • Transaction Date is the transfer date on the transaction.

Select a range using the custom date picker, or pick from quick options like Today, From yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.

Step 4: Set Export Template

Use the default SaasAnt template for standard transfer fields.

To customize, click the “+” icon, select desired fields (for example: transfer date, from account, to account, amount, reference number, memo), name the template, and save it for reuse.
