Completely random, but wanted to raise this somewhere!
Feels weird that the 'Writeback' function is called 'Writeback'. In accounting terms, a writeback is writing a previously written off posting back into the accounts, so using that as the term for pushing data from excel into an accounting platform seems counterintuitive. I've been wondering if labelling it as a 'Pushback' function, or simply as 'Push', would serve to avoid any confusion.
That's how I've been referring to it internally at any rate! Anyone feel the same or is this just me and my company?

Our previous system called it "Data Send" - but I never liked that term.
As a sys admin "Upload" makes the most sense to me.
