1. Go to Mass Data Maintenance work center
2. Select Import Customers or Suppliers and perform the action

The cause for the issue is that you are using Mass Data Maintenance to add new data for the Sales Data (example 1+3) or Payment  Data (example 2+3) sheet, which is not correct.

The Mass Data Maintenance is only used to modify the records. It will not create new entries. In order to create new entries in other sheets of the migration template for the already existing accounts, the migration tool needs to be used.

• Use the migration tool to create a file for the failed records of the Sales Data respectively Payment Data sheet, using method Migration Mode as Enhance already existing records, and proceed with the normal migration process.
• Note: Mass Data Maintenance can only be used to modify existing data.
