Our developers worked with AccuBuild to determine what was needed to import the information into their software.
Caution
Although the Bid, Labor, and Material Exports are available to any licensed user, the Accounting and Custom Exports are only available to users under a maintenance subscription.
If you've allowed your maintenance subscription to expire, you can renew easily by clicking File > Check Authorization and clicking the Renew link.
That link opens the MyOnCenter customer portal where you (or whoever can pay the invoice) may renew your maintenance subscription.
You can also contact Customer Success to discuss renewing your maintenance subscription.

Note
On Center Software does not provide assistance with importing the Budget File into your Accounting package. Accounting packages are very complex and the vendor of your particular Accounting package is best equipped to support it.To export the budget to AccuBuild Accounting software,
Click the Exports button on the Bid toolbar
Select Job Budget File
Click the Options Button next to "Job Budget File" - the Modify Options for Job Budget File dialog box opens
From the Export Format drop down, select "AccuBuild" (exports to an XLS file)
Select the options and filename/location where the export file is to be saved
Material Tax and Labor Burden
This Accounting Export includes an option to "Include and Distribute Material Tax".
- When checked, Material Tax is rolled into the Material Cost Code from which it is derived.
- When unchecked, Material Tax is not included in the Export at all.
This Accounting Export also includes option called "Distribute Burden":
When checked, Labor Burden is rolled into the Labor Cost Code from which it is derived
When unchecked, Labor Burden shows as a separate line item, associated with the same Labor Cost Code, but with a different Category Code (LB instead of L, by default).
