✅ What We Can Import
We can currently import:
Customers
Vehicles
Reminders
Suppliers
Invoices/Job History (for Service History purposes only)
Parts
⚠️ Limitations and Exceptions
Customers
Invalid email addresses cannot be imported (e.g., "john.doe>com" or multiple email addresses in one field).
Phone numbers exceeding 15 digits or including invalid characters (e.g., #@^) cannot be imported.
Vehicles
The vehicle import can include WOF & Service Reminders and one additional custom reminder (e.g., "Cambelt Replacement") per vehicle.
SAM Desktop
Will only include one additional custom reminder (over and above WOF & Service reminders)
WOF Reminders (follow-ups) must be linked to the WOF Expiry for the conversion to identify them as a "WOF" reminder
Make & Model fields are imported for vehicles. If you only used the "description" field to capture this info in the old system, your data may appear incomplete.
Invoice/Job History
⚠️Invoices are imported for 'service history' purposes only and will be considered fully paid; any outstanding balances will not be imported and should be accounted for in Xero, etc.
Only invoices linked to a valid customer in the customer data can be imported.
If the invoice is linked to a vehicle / rego that isn't included in the vehicle data, the invoice may not be imported.
Due to rounding and discounting incompatibilities between systems, the invoice totals may not match the source data once imported into Auxo Workshop.
Job Text/Job Notes are limited to 2000 characters
❌ What We Cannot Import
In the future, we will be able to import more information. However, at this time, we cannot import:
Quotes
Other transaction types (receipts, credit notes, creditor transactions, etc.)
How Much Data History to Retain
When deciding how much data to import, less is often better. Here’s why:
Less Clutter: Moving less data means less junk and outdated information.
Accuracy: Reduces the chance of including vehicles no longer owned by your customers.
Performance: Less data means faster system performance.
📌 Recommendation: If your old system allows you to limit the date range of the data you're exporting, we recommend limiting it to data from the last 3-4 years, with a maximum of 7 years.
In some instances, we may be able to help limit the data - so please be sure to let us know how much history you would like to retain on the data conversion request form.

If your system isn’t listed above, don’t worry—we’re here to help! The key is getting the data out of your current system. Most systems have data export features. If you can’t find them, try reaching out to the support team of the system you’re using or check their help guides.
