   • G/L Account
   • G/L Account Long Name
   • Journal Entry
   • Journal Entry Date
   • Journal Entry Item Text
   • Journal Entry Type
   • Journal Entry Created By
   • Posting Date

10. You can now export the report. Click the Export to Spreadsheet button on the right of the screen.
    

The exported file will be in a format suitable for ingestion into MindBridge without any changes necessary. As a result there is no Transformation guide  for SAP S4/HANA Cloud, however you can learn more about column mapping and ingestion in our SAP S4/HANA Cloud Import Guide.
