Unable to add date to a field using import excel file in configuration package

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 85

Created a new Configuration file. 

Created the excel file for import

This is the Starting Date Column in Purchase Price table. When I imported the file, the starting Date column never got filled with the October 24th 22 value. It remained empty. The Starting date column is Date datatype. Any suggestions or corrections to get the date filled.

Thanks in advance for your time.

    What other table do you have in your excel sheet?

    As i minimum you need all primary keys fields in the table you want to create the import for.

    Hi, you can fill in a date first in BC, and then export the row. Enter a new line according to its format.

    For example, in my environment the date format is 2021-01-01.

    Hi Mr.Zhu,

        Thanks for the reply. It could very well be the format like you mentioned.
