To import company customers from CSV file, you should first prepare such file and then import it to RCM.

Preparing a CSV file

To prepare CSV file, perform the following steps:

1. Create a new customer.

2. Export data to a CSV file.

3. Use your favourite editor (e.g. Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, etc.) to add necessary records to the CSV file. You can use this file as a template if you want to match records between RCM and your existing database.

4. Save the file in CSV format.
