  • Once you downloaded the XML file, open it with Ms Excel and fill all the fields with the data you want to migrate. Fill in the necessary customer details such as the below in the xml file and save.
    • Customer Number, Name, Address
    • Sales Area Data (Sales Org, Distribution Channel, Division)
    • Company Code Data (Reconciliation Account, Payment Terms)

For the first test, it’s highly recommended that you fill just one line so that it will be easier to identify and solve errors.

      4. Upload the Prepared Data File

  • Return to the migration project and upload the filled-out template.
  • Validate the data structure to ensure correctness.
