There may be times when you need to unlink a client in IRIS Accounts Production from a MyWorkpapers client. For example, there may have been an error with an import, you may have linked to the wrong client, or you are receiving the "No adjustments have been found" error message when trying to export from IRIS to MyWorkpapers.
The below guides you through the process of resetting the trial balance export from IRIS Accounts Production to MyWorkpapers.
Essentially, this will remove IRIS' memory of the link between the two clients, meaning that IRIS will assume no figures have been sent to MyWorkpapers.
Note: This will mean for the first export from IRIS after the reset, all figures in the posting will be treated as "Initial" figures in MyWorkpapers, even if they are adjustments, so if you have adjustments you may want to re-post them after the first export.
Backup Your Data
Before completing any of the below, we strongly recommend that you ensure you have a backup of any figures that are not stored elsewhere. For example, if you are deleting the MyWorkpapers trial balance, and resetting the integration, you will need to ensure you have a copy of all of the figures already in your IRIS Accounts Production.
The steps to create backups of your figures in IRIS Accounts Production and MyWorkpapers are listed below.
