I know this is a long shot but hoping someone may have encountered this. I have been using simpleinvoices for about 4 years and looking to witch to invoiceplane. Has anyone attempted to import data from simpleinvoices? Not that I am shy of being first, but if someone blazed that trail, I would love the feedback.
Thanks
@davidcrown I wonder if you got an anwer to this question as it has been a while now. I am in the same juncture now.
Yes I can. I can dump the entire DB into CSV or select specific tables and export to CSV.
This eill be your starting point:
https://wiki.invoiceplane.com/en/1.6/system/importing-data
It will show a couple of files you can use to import data.
If that’s not good enough:
open them up in phpmyadmin side by side
insert into ip_database.(table_name) select (fields from simpleinvoice)
You’ll have to match InvoicePlane’s table structure, so i always export the structure of the table to the screen and then find the fields of the other database’s table (hope that makes sense)
I understand what you mean. It just looks quite onerous for a rookie like me.
As soon as you have the proper files from that link i gave you the steps are easy.
The biggest step ks tl get the information from simpleinvoice into the files from the link i gave you.
I would use ms excel.
That way you can easily cut out the columns that cannot be imported.
