Our developers worked with AccuBuild to determine what they need to use our export.
If you are looking for information on AccuBuild's Accounting export (not just Materials), see Related articles.
The Bid, Labor, and Material Exports are available to any licensed user, however 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 MyAccount 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.
Tech Support 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.
