# Misc. Chg/Cr Import

Use this option to import miscellaneous charges and credits from an external file. For example, if account delivery credits are stored in a separate system, they can be imported into Circulation rather than manually entered.

The file format of this import is determined by file mapping (`MiscChgCredImp` usage). See Appendix B for a list of data elements available for this format.

#### To import miscellaneous charges:

1. Create an ASCII file containing the account ID, route, draw, and charge/credit amount.

2. Select Misc. Chg/Cr Import from the Misc. Charge/Credit menu to display the Misc. Chg/Cred Import window.<br>

4. Click OK and then Continue to import the charges or credits. The charges/credits will be imported, and a suspended miscellaneous charge batch created (the batch can be accepted in Misc. Charge). The account’s primary route will be used in the charge batch. If the account belongs to more than one bill source, the first bill source found will be used. A processing report will display the number of records exported and any errors.
