How to Import into QuickBooks 2019 or Newer

  3. Navigate to the invoices .csv you would like to import and select Open. You can check Add new customers to QuickBooks if you would like to create new customers in QuickBooks for any customers on the invoice that do not already exist in QuickBooks. We recommend you use the standalone customer import instead as it will import more complete customer information.

  4. Select Next.

  5. Verify the spreadsheet field mapping if desired and select Next.

  6. Select Next for any additional screens that come up regarding verifying information. The terms will be the number of days for billing set on the customer record in X dispatch. For example, a customer with 30 days for billing will have 30 as the term. You will need to create these terms in QuickBooks Online before the import if they have not already been created in QuickBooks Online.

  7. Select Start Import.

  8. Select OK.
