Import or export records (CSV file)

To be able to import records to Visma eAccounting Standard, you have to use a comma separated CSV file, that is also formatted in a certain way. The formatting and information in the file correspond to the fields you can find in the program, and works as a sort of key to connect the data you enter with those fields.

The smoothest way to get a correctly formatted CSV file is to create an export from your current record in Visma eAccounting Standard, and use that file as a template for the import. The file is then automatically created in the correct format and look, and you can easily just enter the information that you want to be imported.

Is your record empty?

Note that you can’t export a CSV file from an empty record. Instead you have to first add an object, such as an article, customer, supplier, depending on what record you want to import. Have a look at these topics if you want to know how: Create article, Add customer, Add supplier.
