We extract GL transaction data from Sage 100 Advanced (Providex db) for the prior month once the month has been closed. These transactions are then imported into NetSuite for consolidation - we have multiple companies running different accounting systems and they all go through this process every month - Sage 100 is just one piece of the puzzle.

The problem is that it takes a very long time to extract the data from the GL_DetailPosting table using a date range - so long that sometimes it fails and we have to retry several times before we have success.

I have attached the GL_DetailPosting table to an Access database and run a simple query to extract just the month's transactions into a new Access table, then export the data from the new table. It should be simple enough.

Is there any easier/better way of doing this?

We want to avoid the frustration of running and failing all the time.
