About Radar to R365 Accounting Exports
When Radar to R365 Accounting is enabled, the following exports are available in the Exports module:
- Restaurant365 - AP Export

These exports can be imported to R365 in three ways:
| Export/Import Option | Description |
Manual export from Radar and manual import to R365 | With this option, a user will manually export one or more of the R365 exports from Radar, then manually upload them to R365. When exporting manually, the location(s) and date range of the export must be manually selected. This option is also used to re-import single files that were previously exported.

Import initiated from R365 | With this option, a user will manually initiate the import from R365. Once initiated, the system will run the exports in Radar and automatically import the data. The following exports can be initiated from R365:

About Radar Export Batches Sent to the R365 FTP Site
Radar export batches are used to automate the process of importing data to R365. Each export file that is automatically uploaded to the R365 FTP site will be automatically imported without requiring user input.
The frequency and run time of the export batch is configured in the export batch settings. Since only posted data is exported, these settings should be configured for a day and time after the desired data is typically posted. Frequently, the frequency is set to once a week on the desired day of the week. Export files will begin generation on the selected run time and will be uploaded to the R365 FTP site once complete.
The date range included in the export is configured as the 'Run Period' when exports are added to the batch. All posted data from the run period that was not previously exported will be included in the export files. Frequently, the run period is set to 'Last 7 days'.
