Quick Start

This short guide takes you from an empty tenant to your first imported item. Full explanations live on the linked pages.

Allow about 15 minutes. You need a vendor, an item number series and a DATANORM file from your supplier.

1

Install the app

Install DATANORM Item Import from the marketplace. Details and licence notes under Installation and Licence.

2

Run the setup wizard

Search for DATANORM Setup Wizard. It asks for the default vendor, DATANORM version, duplicate handling and item defaults. See Setup Wizard.

3

Initialise units

Open DATANORM Setup and choose Initialize Units. This creates the mappings from DATANORM units to BC units of measure. Without it, imported items get no base unit. See Unit Mapping.

4

Import a file

In the role centre choose Import DATANORM File, upload the file and confirm the vendor in the dialog that follows. See Manual Import and Vendor Assignment.

5

Review staging

Open the import session that was created and go to Article Staging. Check the imported lines and resolve any reported duplicates. See Reviewing and Approving Staging.

6

Approve and synchronise

Approve the records and start synchronisation. Items, price list lines and BOMs are created now.

7

Check the result

Open one of the new items. From the import session you can also reach Show Purchase Price List and Show Part Lists.
