# Overview
The Chamber of Commerce (KVK) replaced the SBI codes in September 2025. ContactManager imports the new 2025 code list and converts the companies that carry an old 2008 code.
The conversion does three things:
- Imports the SBI 2025 code list, including the Dutch and English descriptions and the hierarchy. All existing industry codes are marked inactive first, so only the new list stays active.
- Replaces the old code on every company for which the new code can be determined without doubt.
- Reports the companies it could not convert.
Roughly a quarter of the companies cannot be converted automatically, because the old code was split into several new codes or because it no longer exists. Those companies end up in the report, which the customer can share with their Company.info account manager. Company.info supplies the new codes, which are then imported into ContactManager.
# Requirements
ContactManager 25.3.0 or newer.
# Running the conversion
- Update ContactManager and start it.
- Open
https://<cm>/migrate-sbi-2025.aspx. - The conversion runs in the background. Progress is written to the log files.
- The conversion is finished when the report appears at
<installation directory>\Web\SBI2025Migration\SBI2025CodeReport.xlsx.
The conversion may only run once. If the report file already exists, the conversion stops and reports that it was aborted — running it twice would assign incorrect SBI codes. Remove or move the report file only if the previous run has to be genuinely redone.
# The report
The report lists one row per company and old code that could not be converted:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Company name | Name of the company |
| CM_ID | ContactManager ID of the company — reuse this column for the import |
| ChamberOfCommerce | Chamber of Commerce number |
| InActive | Whether the company is inactive |
| ContactType | Contact type of the company |
| SBI Description | Description of the old code |
| SBI Code | The old 2008 code |
| Reden omzetting niet mogelijk | Why the conversion failed: the 2008 code was split into several 2025 codes, or the code is unknown. Both ask for the correct code to be fetched from the KVK. |
# Importing the codes supplied by Company.info
Build an Excel sheet with two columns:
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
CM_ID | ID of the company, straight from the report |
IndustryCode | The new SBI code |
On the Import tab, select file type Industry Code and import the file — see Import types.
