FAQ
Q: I want to import an invoice for a customer that's not set up in Adjutant yet. Do I have to add the customer first?
A: Yes, the customer must be setup in Adjutant with the same customer ID as is in the spreadsheet.
Q: Can I link invoices to a Project?
A: Yes, but the projects need to be in Adjutant first. There is a ProjID and Projectnum field in the Header template file. Project ID is the database key and Project Number is the alphanumeric ID you assigned to the project. Either field will work; you don't need both.
Q: The importer keeps displaying a window that tells me that I have validation errors, what do I do?
A: Check the
Validate to txt File box before importing. It will run the entire file and export a text file with every validation error it found. Correct each error (set up the customer, item, etc) and import the files again.
Q: I don't have/want the detail of the invoices, just the amount and current balance. Can I just import the header file?
A: No, you must import the detail file. Create a detail file that uses the _MINONTAXABLE and _MITAXABLE items (non-taxable and taxable). Fill out the other fields in the detail file accordingly.
