Troubleshooting Location Import Error: Organization 'not exist!' (CRM)

This error occurs because the CRM cannot find the parent Organization record to link the Location to. The Location import requires an existing Organization record to establish the proper relationship between the Location and its parent organization.

Symptom/Error

When importing Location data in the Billing CRM, you receive an error message stating:

"(Organization Name) not exist!"

This error can occur even when using the sample file provided directly from the CRM system.

Cause

This error occurs because the CRM cannot find the parent Organization records to link the Location to. The Location import requires an existing Organization record to establish the proper relationship between the Location and its parent organization.

Solution

Follow these steps to resolve the import error:

Step 1: Verify Organization Exists

Confirm that the Organization referenced in your CSV file already exists in the CRM system. The Organization must be created before importing Locations that reference it.

Step 2: Check Exact Name Matching

Ensure the Organization name in your CSV file matches the existing Organization record exactly. This includes:

  • Correct spelling

  • Proper spacing

  • Exact punctuation

  • Matching capitalization

Step 3: Enable Missing Organization Creation

If your import includes new Organizations that don't exist yet:

  1. Navigate to the final step of the Import Wizard

  2. Enable the checkbox: "Create missing Referral Sources, Referral Source Contacts & Campaign Sources."

  3. Complete the import process

💡 Note: This checkbox only creates the Organization name. You'll need to add additional details to the Organization record later.

Expected Result

After following these steps, your Location import should complete successfully without the "not exist!" error. The Locations will be properly linked to their parent Organization records.

When to Contact Support

Contact Dazos Support if:

  • The error persists after confirming exact name matches

  • You continue receiving the error even with the "Create missing" option enabled

  • You need assistance with bulk Organization creation before Location import
