General considerations:
The file to be imported must contain all the columns mentioned above. The order of the columns is compulsory.
The name of the fields does NOT determine the content.
The optional fields must be in the file, but can be left empty.
Some programs can generate NULL values in their exports. This value is not always supported during the import. The only way to know if it is possible to exploit the files created by your program is to test them yourself.
If you import entries without foreign currencies and without VAT, you can create a file and fill in only the columns from 1 to 6.
If you import entries involving foreign currencies, fill in columns 1 to 9, and columns 16 and 17.
Entries are automatically numbered by WinBIZ during the import. This is in order to avoid duplicates.
Only "simple bookings" can be imported. If you have to import "multiple bookings" you will need to import a "simple booking" for each line that composes the "multiple booking".
