Best Practices for CSV Imports
Whether you're using QuickBooks' native CSV import or Zera Books automation, these best practices ensure accurate and efficient imports.
Verify Date Ranges
Before importing, confirm the date range of your CSV matches the accounting period you're working on. Importing overlapping periods can create duplicate transactions.
Check for Duplicates
QuickBooks doesn't automatically prevent duplicate imports. Always review existing transactions before importing to avoid double-counting.
Test Small Batches First
When importing for the first time, test with 10-20 transactions before processing entire statements. This catches formatting errors early.
Back Up Before Import
Create a QuickBooks backup before major imports. If import errors occur, you can restore to the pre-import state.
