# dataImports.commit

Start an import in the background with the mapping and decisions: create or choose customers and contractors, link or skip invoice numbers already in Oatmilk, and import or skip possible duplicate payments. Invoices keep their original numbers without using the invoice sequence, paid rows get their payment, the first PDF becomes the invoice's PDF, and Notion rows are linked for sync. Contractor payments are recorded as paid outside Wise; no money is sent and nobody is emailed. Rows already imported are skipped. Returns the import to follow with dataImports.get. Supply idempotencyKey.
