To successfully import Customer master records, take note of the following general conditions when creating your import source file:

 

There can be any number of entries in the source file, one following immediately after the other.

 

The first line in the source file is not imported. Be sure to enter the first entry after the first line.

 

You must enter the data field's name in the first line as a column heading. The data import is case-sensitive so be sure that each column name is spelled correctly and that it matches with the actual data field's name.

 

Each line in your source file after the first line will be treated as a separate record.

 

There are certain validations that the data import feature performs which differs depending on the import function selected. Validation checks are in place to ensure that data to be entered into the system are acceptable. Below are the data-specific requirements you need to successfully import customer master records:

 

Required Module: Accounts Receivable (AR) or Sales Order (SO)
