When using NPSP Data Importer, what should a consultant check if some Account records are not created despite correct mappings?

When using the NPSP Data Importer, it is crucial for the consultant to ensure that all required fields are included in the import process. This is because Salesforce has specific fields that must be populated for an Account record to be successfully created. If any of these required fields are missing, the import process may fail to create those Account records, even if the data is otherwise correctly mapped.

Required fields can vary depending on the specific configuration of the organization's Salesforce instance, but generally, they include essential details that identify and differentiate each account. Failing to include one or more of these fields in the import file would lead to complications during the data import process.

Other factors, such as ensuring that email addresses are correctly formatted or that records have a phone number, may improve the integrity and quality of the data but do not directly affect the ability to create an Account record. Even if the data is perfectly formatted, without all required fields present, the import will not be successful for those records.
