Updating Vendors via CSV (Intacct)

the plugin allows you to update their vendor payment information in bulk through csv files, eliminating the need for manual changes to each individual record you can use this process to edit existing vendor records, to add additional line items to existing vendors, and to create new vendor records keep in mind that information stored inside native intacct cannot be updated in the plugin export and import functionality this functionality allows you to manage your vendor records through a two part process export and import export creates a file containing all your current vendor records import allows you to update existing records by applying changes to your vendor data always export first before you begin an import this is the best way to ensure the csv file is structured correctly, as the row format changes depending on the type of data you are working with you can re import the same data multiple times to update existing rows, provided the id fields in the file have not been modified or changed follow these steps to begin the export and import process navigate to payment methods from anywhere in intacct, you can navigate to the payment methods page click on the {{productname}} button and then payment methods export csv click export csv a csv file containing all previously saved vendors is generated important the csv is pre structured for import functionality; do not modfiy the column structures the import from intacct triggers a minimum of one row of data there are three different data types bank account each vendor with a bank account creates a row with a data type of bank account , allowing you to modify the vendor’s bank account address each vendor with an address record creates a row with a data type of address , allowing you to modify the vendor’s address email each vendor with an address record creates a row with a data type of email , allowing you to modify the vendor’s email note save a copy of this file for your records so you can easily re import the original if necessary prepare the file for import once you have exported the existing vendor information, create the import file containing your revised vendor information by editing the data and adding new rows if you are incorporating new vendors do not remove any of the column headers or add additional columns; otherwise, the import will fail each of the three data types requires specific data fields use the existing records as a guide to which columns require data, and be sure to follow the general rules to avoid errors that prevent a successful import bank account to add a new bank account, add a row and enter bank account in the data type column address to add a new address, add a row and enter address in the data type column email to add a new email, add a row and enter email in the data type column please do not fill in the email or address fields for these columns, and ensure that the other columns are completed according to the guidance provided in the table below note only one line entry per vendor can have the is default account set to y enter the default payment method for the default account address record fill the csv table you need to use specific default payment method code values that correspond to your payment rail types since a vendor can only have one default account with a default payment method, you must ensure the payment method you choose is compatible with the corresponding data type navigate to payment methods and check in the table which payment methods are listed for a vendor here is a complete list showing which payment rail types are supported by each data type use only the payment rails supported by your plugin for this specific vendor csv file table rows true 209,209,211 unhandled content type unhandled content type
