​To import scrubbed CSV transaction data in NetSuite, follow these menu steps using Import Assistant. Setup>Import/Export>Import CSV Files. Indicate whether the import will add new records or update existing records. Then map the CSV fields to NetSuite fields. Save import jobs to run later and reuse for mapping purposes. Validate the imported data.

Many businesses and accounts payable departments keep their important data in CSV and Excel files. These are then converted into custom forms in NetSuite. The CSV file is the most commonly used method for transferring small to medium-sized sets of data into NetSuite.

The CSV import process helps to prevent errors and saves time. Data can be added or updated to all records simultaneously, rather than entering them manually.
