🛑 If you didn’t make a backup prior to starting the import process, click Back up in step 10 to make one.

🛑 If you get a warning or an error message indicating that the import was not successful, refer to the importlog which you can access from the Conclusion step of the assistant. It is more than likely the Account No in the text file presents as Account #, you will need to change this to Account No and try importing again. Any field marked with a * is mandatory so you will have to add them to the text file as well.
