A step-by-step guide to Importing Data Into a Dynamics 365 Business Central

Here’s a look at how you can import data into Office 365 essentials;

The first step is to determine the table number. This refers to where in the table the data will go. You should navigate the customer window and then on the top-right corner of the Office 365 Business essentials, click on ‘?’ and then choose the ‘Help and Support,’ button.

 

Create a Configuration Package

This is the next step. The configuration package is an extremely important aspect of importing data into the Dynamics 365 business. In the search bar, type in ‘Config Packages,’ and then choose ‘Configuration Packages.’

Once the window comes up, choose ‘New,’ and you will be able to set up a new configuration package for your customers.

 

Review all of the Template’s Fields

Export the Excel Template in order to Complete the Data

In this step, you will need to export the office 365 Business Essentials Excel template so you will be able to add data to it. On the Configuration Package, click on ‘Excel,’ and then ‘Export to Excel.’

When you are ready, you should then import the data by going to the Dynamics 365 Business Configuration Package card you already created previously. Navigate back to the customer’s Configuration package and click on ‘Excel,’ and choose ‘Import from Excel.’
