DMF Error Management User Friendly INFO

Posted on by JB-07011319-0 8
Hello,
 
we're using DMF to make data integrations but the error log information is not very user friendly to pass the errors to end users and create the records missing (new vendors, warehouses,etc..).
 
Any idea about how to improve this error log information?

    DMF Error Management User Friendly INFO
    Hi JB,
     
    The log is due to table and field validations. These are generating default messages. In case a user enters the wrong item in e.g. a sales order, they will get the same error. 
    What to do next depends on the process. Maybe the error is due to a typo in the source system or there is an item missing. Do you have an idea what friendly message to send to the user? Maybe you can generate a summary where you mention that there were validation errors due to non existing items. A summary can be created using e.g. a Power Automate flow. But then still, the user will need to know the Item ID provided. You can also try to retrieve a sales order ID or another reference. I do see a document ID column but I don't know the source of this DMF job.

    Hi,
     
    this is one example about technical information from DMF that is not easy to "read" by end user in order to correct data in D365. From technical point of view, I can understand the error log but following the idea to provide such report to Master Data Team or End Users, to correct it, it is not very user friendly.
     
    Example:
     
    Definition Group Execution ID Company Error Document ID

    Improving DMF Error Logs for End Users - Vendor Group Example :-
     
     
    Let's say we're importing new vendors using DMF. If a mandatory field like "Vendor Group" is missing in the source file, DMF generates a technical error log entry. Instead of this:
     
    Severity: Error
    Component: DMF
    Message: Field 'VendGroup' in table 'VendTable' must be filled in.
     
    This message requires technical knowledge to interpret. Our goal is to provide our end users with more actionable and user-friendly error information, such as:
     
    Error Type: Missing Information
    Entity: Vendor
    Field: Vendor Group
    Description: The 'Vendor Group' is a required field for creating new vendors. Please ensure this column is populated in your import file.
     
     
    This format empowers end users to quickly understand the error, identify the problem field, and take immediate steps to resolve it.
