Importing configurations

You can import previously exported data to a different environment. For example, migrate the partner ID data from the test environment to the production environment. The data is imported from a JSON file in the selected import file path.

You can filter the data configurations to import by accounting entity.

To import configurations:

  1. Select Transformation > Configuration > Import Configurations.
  2. Specify this information:
    Accounting Entity
    Select an accounting entity from the drop-down list. The accounting entity is, for example, the identification for a company. If you select a special accounting entity, the data that is stored for the selected accounting entity is imported. If you do not select an accounting entity, all data from the JSON import file is imported.
    Import Behaviour
    Select the import behaviour of the configuration. Possible Values:
    • Skip Existing
      The application skips the existing configurations.
    • Overwrite Existing
      The application overwrites the existing configurations.
    Import File Path
    Specify path and name of the import file.
    Import Successful
    This check box is selected, if the data successfully passes the import filter.
  3. To import the data, click Import. Check the Log Entries list for resulting errors and warnings.
    Note: 
    • When records are not found in the current environment, a new record is created.
    • If the Accounting Entity field is set to a value other than All and the Import Behaviour is set to Overwrite Existing, the log displays a skipped status when records exists with a different Accounting Entity. However, you can override the existing Accounting Entity records by selecting All option.
    • You can view the configuration status and the reason for the failed records in the log entry.
