Hi All,

I have a scenario where I need to export all the primary/non primary address for all the customers.

What will be the best approach to handle this as a single customer will have multiple address and those need to be sent as a single record for a customer and so on.

Thanks !

Hi AX Dev,

You can use the data entity CustomerPostalAddressEntity ("Customer postal addresses") to export addresses of all customers

Hi ,

I need to export the address along with customer details.

For example for customer A I need to export a single record with customer details like accountNum, name and all the addresses.

Thanks

You could create a custom entity based on on CustomerPostalAddressEntity and add the fields you need from Customers. This way you will have multiple rows (based on customer addresses) with the same customer details.

This is not possible with the standard entities. You need to export the addresses via the customer postal address entity. The customer can have 0-n addresses and it's not possible to present such information properly in "single record". That's why the addresses are stored in a separate table and not in the customer table. And that's why there are two separate entities.

But if you have a strong definition of how that "single record" result would look like, then you can easily extend the customer entity and add the addresses there.

We can't understand your requirement until you explain what you mean by "a record".

If you mean a single file, you can create a composite entity including both customers and their addresses.

Hi,

I need to create a file where we have customer details and then all its address without repeating customer data.

I tried creating composite entity with custcustomerv3 and CustomerPostalAddressEntity but I guess that is not possible to set relation on the CustomerPostalAddressEntity entity.

Making such a composite entity is possible - I did it for one of my clients.

But you'll need some changes, such as adding RowId and ParentRowId fields to staging tables. Refer to Develop composite data entities for more information.
