    Hi,

    Best way to import data into BC or in NAV use of configuration packages.

    Configuration packages are one way. But i really recommend you to upgrade to latest version of Business Central instead of starting new Business in NAV 2016. There you will have edit in Excel, i find that a much better option than configuration packages.
