    Hi Liam98 , try inserting a row at the top, which should have two curly braces - {} - at position 1. That indicates to the program that the file format is intended for the current program. Without those, it assumes the format is designed for the legacy version 19 program. 

     

    If you are importing by name, deselect the other two fields (card ID, record ID) prior to import.

Thank you so much, the import was successful once I did this! 

 

I will mark this response as a solution but I had one other question; I noticed that after adding in the {}'s, I no longer had the GST-Inc Total come up as a field upon importing, is this because this field was from the legacy system? 

 

Thanks again, your prompt response earlier was much appreciated. I will hopefully be able to use this file to bring in my actual data now.

Looking for something else?
