This template is provided with the SEED data folder for Enterprise Management. It includes several record types to demonstrate the possibilities when importing or exporting customer data.

The data file is expected to have multiple records of data for a customer, with the records separated by CR + LF (carriage return and line feed). Fields within the record are delimited by a semicolon ( ; ). The data should be composed of ASCII characters.

When importing, keep in mind that the import follows the same pattern of entry as the user interface, so many field values are provided by the logic within the customer object. The import log will list values that are missing or invalid to help you correct your template.

Notes

• Uses Key format indicates that characters allowed for a value are restricted to uppercase letters, numbers, hyphen ( - ), slash mark ( / ), and underscore ( _ ).

• Format based on Country settings means a user may define the format for this field using the function Common data > Common tables > Countries. This may restrict the length of a field to shorter than the length listed.

• Every customer record must have a category associated with it. The category also provides several of the default values when creating a new customer, such as the country, language, and currency that the customer uses.

• If you wish to modify this template, we recommend making a copy of it and using the copy, as upgrades to the application sometimes include updates to the demonstration data and will overwrite the BPC template.
