Description nik gaffney 2014-02-05 01:32:10 UTC 
'Import Bills & Invoices' will not create or update an invoice if there is an existing bill with the same id. The importer appears to report 'success' if the file to import contains valid data, however the details don't appear. This is a problem if a customer and vendor both use the same invoice numbering scheme (eg. 20140001)
Comment 1 Mike Evans 2014-02-05 09:19:51 UTC 
That is the correct behaviour and is designed to avoid having duplicate invoice numbers as well as enabling multi line invoices.  What it does is to update the invoice, with an existing id, by adding the new lines to the existing invoice.  Each line of the CSV being imported is an invoice line.
Comment 2 nik gaffney 2014-02-05 10:02:06 UTC 
I would expect this to be the corect behaviour for importing *invoices* with the same numbers as exiting *invoices* (i.e. add details to an exiting customer invoice). But the problem occurs when importing *invoices* (i.e. customer) with the same id as an exiting *bill* (i.e. vendor)

I'm not compiling from source atm. but i'll certainly test either a nightly (if there are any?) or the next version.
Comment 7 Mike Evans 2014-04-30 09:50:57 UTC 
Can I assume this is fixed?

I'll check with the recent 2.6.3 release
