Understanding the fields
- Import template — download this first; its column headers are what BillBasket expects (name, price, tax rate, opening stock, etc.). Typing data into a spreadsheet with different column names or order will fail to map correctly.
- Import file — your filled-in copy of the template, uploaded back in. BillBasket reads every row and creates the matching records in one pass.
- Master vs. transactional data — this importer is for master data (products, customers, suppliers, opening stock) that exists before any billing happens. It isn’t for importing historical invoices or transactions — those are created going forward through normal billing.

Import Data lives in Settings → Data, alongside Export Data,
Local Backup & Restore, Cloud Backup, and External database — all
grouped together in the same left-hand menu section.
