You can add multiple addresses and contacts for a Client, to do this repeat the Client Code in the import and fill the remaining fills accordingly.
4. Choose the excel file to import and click in ‘Start to send’
5. Read carefully the warnings that may appear:
- Red warnings - the system will not import the line with the warning, because something is wrong and a workaround cannot be applied. Nevertheless, you can ignore a line and import the rest of the file, by clicking ‘Ignore line’.
- Yellow warnings - the system will import the line with the warning, and update de information. If it's incorrect, you can also ignore a line and import the rest of the file, by clicking ‘Ignore line’.
6. Click on the ‘Confirm’ button and your ‘Clients’ have been uploaded!
