# Additional Features

## DATANORM details on the item

Every item the app creates carries its DATANORM origin, so you can trace later where an item came from.

<table><thead><tr><th width="290">Field on the item</th><th>Contents</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>DATANORM Article No.</strong></td><td>The supplier's article number.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DATANORM Vendor No.</strong></td><td>Vendor whose delivery the item came from.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DATANORM Set Number</strong></td><td>Filled when the item is a set item.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DATANORM EAN/GTIN</strong></td><td>Barcode from the file.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DATANORM Vendor Article No.</strong></td><td>Vendor item number, where delivered.</td></tr></tbody></table>

These fields are also the basis of duplicate detection, see [Duplicates and Validation](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/duplicates-and-validation.md).

## Extended texts

Long texts from the T record are stored as an **extended text** on the item. Business Central can pull them into documents automatically – useful for detailed article descriptions in quotes.

## Filtering and reporting

Because the origin sits on the item, reports need no extra work:

<table><thead><tr><th width="330">Question</th><th>Filter</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Which items come from a given supplier?</td><td>Item list, filter on <strong>DATANORM Vendor No.</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Which items are set items?</td><td>Filter on <strong>DATANORM Set Number</strong> is not empty</td></tr><tr><td>Which items arrived through DATANORM?</td><td>Filter on <strong>DATANORM Article No.</strong> is not empty</td></tr><tr><td>Where does a single item come from?</td><td>Item card, the section with the DATANORM fields</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Handling deletion flags

DATANORM can flag articles as deleted. **Delete Flag Handling** in the setup determines what happens then:

<table><thead><tr><th width="290">Setting</th><th>Effect</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Manual Review</strong></td><td>The record waits for your decision. The shipped default.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Block Item</strong></td><td>The item is blocked in Business Central but keeps its history.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>End-Date Price</strong></td><td>The price line gets an ending date; the item stays usable.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Block Item** is usually better than deleting: Business Central prevents deletion when entries exist, and the history stays available for reporting.
{% endhint %}

## Copper values

Copper weight and copper raw price are taken from the file and kept on the item. The app does **not** derive a current price from them. Model copper recalculation with standard Business Central functionality, see [Limitations](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/limitations.md).

## Background processing

Large files run in a background session so you can carry on working. Set the threshold through **Background Threshold** and the block size through **Batch Size**. See [Import Process](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/import-process.md).

## Context-sensitive help

The app is linked to this documentation. The question mark in Business Central takes you to the app help straight from the page you are on.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/operations-and-troubleshooting/additional-features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
