Make sure you column names matches the columns in the sample files provided, otherwise your fields will not matched.
If you have any custom fields, you can use custom fields key as a column name. For example, use job-title to import customer job title.
Once your file is imported, Omnibasis returns you a file with a first column that has results of the import. If import for a specific customer failed, it will tell the reason why.
Please note, the customer address country is two letter ISO code.
Importing Customers with Multiple Addresses
If your customer has multiple addresses, you can import all of them. Use column NextAddress and set it to TRUE to tell import to import a next address. See attachments for example.
