# How do I import the CSV invoice and attach files?

## Symptom

I need to know how to import CSV invoices and attach files.

## Environment

SAP Business Network

## Resolution

To import your CSV invoices, you need to download your customer's CSV template first:

1. Click ****...**** in the upper-right corner of the application.
2. Click **Templates** under the **CSV DOWNLOAD** to see the list of available CSV templates. This page includes the standard templates, as well as any custom templates from your customer.
3. Select the check box next to the template you want to download.
4. Click **Download**, and then, click **Done** when you finish.

After updating the CSV template with your information:

1. Click **...** in the upper-right corner of the application.
2. Click **Invoice,** in the **CSV Upload** section.
3. The **Import CSV Invoice page** appears.
4. Choose the customer name from the dropdown menu.
5. Click **Browse** to select your CSV invoice file.
6. Click **Import CSV Invoice**.
7. Click **Browse** to select an attachment.
8. Click **Upload Related Document** to upload the attachment file.
9. Click **Submit** to submit the CSV invoice and attached files to your customer.

Your customer must enable the option to add attachments to your CSV invoices. Contact your customer or view your buyer's [transaction rules](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/142286) to see if attachments are allowed.

Note: CSV file uploads cannot be integrated with Standard accounts because they do not support cXML. To use any cXML integration features, a supplier needs an Enterprise account.
