@Tut @Buettel2 First of all Im really happy that someone produced such a brilliant software, and the major part being how easy it is to import data. When updating I follow below steps, 01 - Enter a few entries 02 - Than I click to “update batch” and copy the clipboard to excel, and after pasting, I add “one extra row” after that, 03 - Than I click to “create batch” and copy the clipboard and paste after that “one extra row” 04 - And following the steps, I paste all data column by column. However, all was well untill I faced an unusual problem when importing receipts, When I click to batch update and past on excel, the lines seem to be scattered and extended, data is not column by column heading wise, The date is showing in 3 columns and the BankAccount ID is broken in parts, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/8/0/80faec59f91d871ed2a2a95cf301c7fe934c660a.png) ![Manager receipt entries](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/6/6/6692127c0d90608b2984287247092a09a9f7cd60.jpeg) Therefore, need help in this regard ---

the workflow you have explained for `Batch Update` is not correct. there is no `Batch Create` function when updating an existing list. please follow the instructions exactly as described under the batch update heading in the guide [Use Batch Create and Batch Update functions | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/9572) i would recommend that you undo everything from the `History` tab and then update again. ---

Basically im folowing all the proceedures, and thats why im able to import sales, purchases, customers, vendors Now Im importing Cash Receipts & Payments, So for cash receipts, when I paste on excel after clicking clipboard for batch update, the data pasted seems wrong, you can see in the above given picture, see how **date** column is pasted as separate day, month, year similarly other columns are also like this in the end. Dont know why this is hapening, everything was imported and no problem occurred until this. ---
