Importing Excel data into a UD Table

Mike, you can use the customer/contact import for bringing in your customers from excel. Its not perfect in that you can't upload certain fields (like customer group, billing terms) and on the initial load it will set all customer types to suspect and put every customer on credit hold. which can be fixed with a SQL update or BPM. As soon as orders are entered against the customer Epicor will automatically change the "suspect" type to "customer"
Â
It will default the billing terms to the first one in your terms setup file as this is a required field for setup of the customer master
Â
Other then those few things the import works well
Â
As for the supplier side, unless you use service connect or are brave enough to tackle with SQL and ODBC there is no other way except to key them in

Thanks for the input. I would like to migrate supplier and part master from Vista 4 to E9 via Excel but unfortunately see no method to accomplish that via a simple copy/paste. Any ideas from those who've migrated data? I've heard that service connect is a great means to migrate data but I like the copy paste option much better if possible. Thanks.

We are running 406A. Does anyone know or have had experience importing Excel data into a UD table? I'm looking to load some data that would link to our Customer table.

Thanks,

Just do a list paste...



In the list screen arrange your columns to match your excel data, copy,
past update.

If you have SQL, you can do it directly, just pay attention to data types and leave the PROGRESS_RECID columns to populate themselves. I've done this a lot by simply cutting from excel and pasting to mgmt studio gui.
