Implementation > Import Sales Invoices
When first setting up your WorkBook system, a starting set of data can be imported, including sales invoices. To import data successfully it is important to understand the data structures and the format required in the import data sheet.
Things to note:
Data is imported once, so it is important to ensure accuracy and consistency prior to uploading.
Not all fields are required at import, optional fields can be added to the system manually at a later date when/as required.
The sales invoice cannot be deleted/edited after it’s imported
