The TRA format is used to export your accounting entries to Cegid (Loop, Y2, V9, V10, XRP, Expert...), FULL, MyUnisoft, whether via the automatic API (not available for FULLL) or through a manual export from the Qonto Accounting Hub. This format enforces specific rules on labels, auxiliary codes, and attachment management.
Adhering to these constraints is essential to ensure correct imports into your accounting software, without rejection or errors.
I select the format of the export file to generate
To generate your export file, refer to the article How can I manually export my accounting entries? to choose the correct menu.
The format to select from the dropdown list is TRA (.zip).
What is the label length limit for entries in TRA format?
The TRA format imposes a strict limit: entry labels cannot exceed 35 characters. Any label longer than this limit is automatically truncated during export from Qonto, whether in API mode or manual export.
This constraint applies to all software compatible with the TRA format, notably Cegid and MyUnisoft. There is no setting on the Qonto side to bypass this limit—it is imposed by the format itself.
What auxiliary code rules must I follow in MyUnisoft?
In MyUnisoft, auxiliary codes must be prefixed by the first 3 digits of the related accounting account. This rule applies both to manual exports and automatic synchronizations via the API.
Here are the expected formats according to the account type:
-
Supplier accounts (401x): the auxiliary code must start with
401— example:401EDFfor the supplier EDF -
Customer accounts (411x): the auxiliary code must start with
411 -
Employee accounts (421x, 467x): the auxiliary code must start with
421or467depending on the account concerned
⚠️ In MyUnisoft, all accounts starting with 401 or 411 are systematically treated as auxiliary accounts, without exception—including the 401000 account itself. This classification is specific to MyUnisoft and affects how accounts are handled in Qonto. Be sure to configure your auxiliary codes accordingly before connecting your files.
How can I retrieve attachments during a manual export to Cegid Loop?
During a manual export in TRA format from Qonto to Cegid Loop, attachments (PDFs) are included in a ZIP file generated by Qonto. Cegid Loop does not automatically retrieve these attachments from the ZIP during import.
To ensure your attachments are properly integrated into Cegid Loop, manually extract them from the ZIP file and place them in the specific folder designated by Loop for importing attachments. The configuration of this folder is specific to your Cegid Loop installation. For the exact path and complete procedure, consult the official Cegid documentation: How to perform automatic import of TRA, FEC, and custom entries files.
