Fundamental confusion over importing data

Fundamental confusion over importing data into quickbooks; their help seems to refer to two very different methodologies, neither of which I can get working or even fully understand

I just want to import what the customer sees as invoices, it will be in an ascii comma delimited format, the data consisting of an item description, ship to and bill to data and price.

One of their methods seems to involve their mapping feature, which I think will allow me to read in the ascii if I can get the fields in the right order. I followed their advice, and outputted an invoice , but still cant get it to read in. I'm working on it.

What seems like another method involves their transactions and tab delimited files with their !trns information.

Can anyone give me an overview of what is going on here ?
