The same can now be found under the Appointments view of the Activities work center.

Cause

The Group Code expected for Visits is 0027, but the Spreadsheet editor truncates the leading zeroes.

Resolution

Please use only plain text editors for csv editing, if you use excel, standard functionality remove the leading zeros and make it as 27, which is wrong.
