Is it better to convert summarized GL transactions, each individual transaction, or can just trial balance information be imported?
There is no better or worse. The ease at which the data is pulled from the source system should dictate your choice. For some source systems, it may be easier to pull individual transactions. For others, the best solution would be to bring in a trial balance. It really depends on the capabilities of the source system, its reporting capabilities, and how that data is stored in the source system. Know that pulling individual transactions will result in a slower import process because of the sheer number of transactions that will be brought in.
