OK, I tried to use the Batch Create function and didn’t get the result I expected - but I suspect that was because I hadn’t filled in the fields/columns correctly. It isn’t evident which fields/columns are necessary and required entry nor what data needs to be entered - see the guide [Use Batch Create and Batch Update functions](https://www.manager.io/guides/9572)

I expect you have to enter the customer and account as the keys used by Manager and not the names
