Importing from Minimax
Minimax is one of the most common accounting tools in Slovenia, so VegaERP ships a dedicated importer for it rather than a generic CSV mapping tool.
What gets imported
- Contacts — customers and suppliers, including foreign entities. The importer preserves foreign tax numbers and the VAT-payer flag per contact, and de-duplicates contacts that don’t have a stable external key by matching on name and tax number instead of blindly creating duplicates.
- Chart of accounts and opening balances — so historical reporting stays intact after the switch.
- Payroll master data — employees, contracts, and the statutory catalog needed to keep running payroll without re-entering everything by hand.
Before you start
- Export the relevant data from Minimax (contacts, chart of accounts, opening balances, employees) in the format the importer expects.
- Decide your cutover date — the day VegaERP becomes the system of record. Import opening balances as of that date; don’t import historical transaction detail you don’t need for reporting.
- Make sure your VAT-payer status and flat-rate status are set correctly on the company profile first (see Getting started) — the importer uses this to decide whether imported documents need VAT book entries.
Running the import
Run the importer from the data-import section of the app. It processes contacts first (so later documents can reference them), then the chart of accounts and balances, then payroll data if applicable.
After the import — what to check
- Duplicate contacts. The importer dedupes on name + tax number when no stable Minimax ID is available, but always spot-check the contact list after a large import.
- Foreign suppliers/customers. Confirm foreign tax numbers carried over correctly — this matters for VAT book reporting on cross-border transactions.
- Opening balances. Reconcile the imported trial balance against Minimax before you book your first new document in VegaERP.
If something looks wrong after an import, don’t manually patch individual records — re-running the import is designed to be safe (it upserts rather than duplicates), so fix the source export and re-run instead.
