(0 = new, 1 = exported)There is a plugin for Mac invoicing software Grandtotal, which adds support for Kimai.
In case your leading system for customers is Grandtotal, you can import customers from a Grandtotal CSV export into Kimai.
Grandtotal calls CSV exports Numbers
in the export screen.
Attention: Grandtotal exports its data with column names in the UI language (just like Kimai).
Kimai only supports imports for GT exports from the languages english and german, so you might have to change it in Settings / Languages / User interface
