Cannot link line items to invoices

Hi,

I’m trying to import line items and link them to existing invoices (SuiteCRM 7.3.1).

As Parent ID I use the invoice ID, but I cannot supply a default value for the Parent Type due to the dropdown list being empty. I would expect “Invoices” to be in that list (among “Quotes” and “Contracts”).

As a result the line items are created, but not linked to my invoices.

Any idea how to get the parent types in the dropdown list?

What I would probably do in your situation would be to export a line item from an invoice and see what the exported value is for one with parent type Invoice, I would then insert this into the file before importing. I have had similar issues before and due to time constraints I usually opt to work around by editing the data to be imported.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I already tried to add the Parent Type field to my CSV files and then it works. However, it will take a lot of time to update all my import files.

Adding values to the Parent Type dropdown list shouldn’t be difficult, right?
