Invoices per item
If what you need is to import invoices with more than one item, you will have to use this same template, adding a line for each product and using the same invoice number. For example, if you have 10 different items, you will have to add a line for each one, indicating the relevant information such as the SKU and the concept, for a total of 10 lines with identical numbering.If you leave blank lines between invoices, the template will not be imported. It is important to add the data without leaving any space and in a correlative manner, since lines from different invoices cannot be combined.
