Limitations

What the app deliberately does not cover – so expectations can be set early.

Format and content

Limitation	Explanation
DATANORM 4 and 5 only	Other formats – Excel price lists, BMEcat or proprietary supplier formats – are not read.
No image files	The G record only carries a reference. The image files themselves are not downloaded or stored on the item.
Text files expected	Unpack compressed deliveries before importing.
DOS character set	Files are read as DOS-encoded. A file converted to UTF-8 beforehand loses its umlauts.

Prices

Limitation	Explanation
One currency per file	The currency comes from the header record and applies to the whole delivery.
No automatic sales mark-up	The app can write the list price as a sales price but calculates no mark-up.
Discount groups only on request	Discounts only apply when Apply Discount Groups to Purchase Price is on and the .RAB file has been imported.
No surcharge recalculation	Copper quotations are carried as information but not converted into a price.

Part lists

Limitation	Explanation
Assembly BOMs only	Assembly BOMs are created, not production BOMs.
Components must exist	Lines whose item has not been imported are skipped and logged.
Sets are replaced	A repeat import replaces the existing BOM entirely. Manual additions to a DATANORM BOM are lost.
Optional lines without selection logic	Optional lines are either all included or all left out. Guided selection in the sales process is not part of the app.

Operations

Limitation	Explanation
SFTP only via Azure Function	Business Central online cannot speak SFTP. The intermediary function is not part of the app; solutioo provides it separately on request, at additional cost. Without it only manual import is possible.
Default vendor on SFTP import	Automatically collected files get the default vendor. There is no per-folder or per-filename assignment; correct it with Assign Vendor.
No automatic rollback	Synchronised items are not removed automatically. That is why you review in staging before approving.
Import changes master data	Trial new supplier files in a sandbox first.
