    Hi Mark,

    Data Entities themselves are created based on tables.

    What actual business needs do you have?

    Hi Mark,

    what exactly do you mean by "how data is moved"? What kind of information do you need? Basically the data is moved according to the entity data model definition from the entity fields to the target table fields. If you have added some custom code in the entity methods, then that impacts the process as well.

    The system handles the moving of the data from the OData endpoint into the target table. Do you have some specific problem / question around the moving of the data?

    Hi Mark,

    You need to tell us more about your business requirement.

    I think you could find some suitable method in the data entity to reach your goal.

    Hi Mark,

    One entity can contain one or several tables.

    For example, if you use customer groups as entity to import data , just one table will be updated (i.e.CustTable).

    While if you use customers v3 entity and try to import a customer with address, several tables will be updated (e.g. DirPartyTable, CustTable, LogisticsPostalAddress).
