# How do I export journal data for all employees and cost codes?

**Cintra iQ** holds the functionality to produce a costing file that is relevant to your accounting system, so that you can upload the file without having to manually enter the data.

> [!NOTE]
> **Good to Know:** In my company, I have a monthly payroll for the office staff. I have a weekly payroll for the factory staff. My accounting year runs from 01 July to 30 June. It runs in months. There are twelve accounting months and the first will be in July. In July, I'll need Journals covering the month of July payroll and weeks 14-17 of the weekly payroll. I need to produce a journal for those weeks.

Once the **Journal** data is extracted, you can set up the **Journal Display** to see what monies are allocated against the cost codes and how they have been analysed. You can also generate output files within the **Journal Display** to either review or export directly to the desired location.

> [!NOTE]
> **Good to Know:** I want to see all the monies attached to the Payroll Periods.
