Import profile feature

The Import Profile feature allows you to map column headers from a local file to file headers in Bill.com. This mapping enables the import of records into Bill.com without altering existing spreadsheet organization or disrupting workflow.


Mapping column headers

When uploading a file with unrecognized column headers, a user will be prompted to map headers to the default fields in Bill.com. The Import Profiles can be saved, allowing Users to import files with the same headers again. This will make it faster and easier to export data from an external system and import it into Bill.com each time.

  2. Select Import/Export under Import/Export
  3. Select Import next to the record you're importing
  4. Choose your file to import, that has column headers that differ from the default headers of the Import Sample File for that record type
  5. Select Continue to review the Import Profile Mapping page
