Updating Vendors via CSV

the plugin allows users to update their vendor payment information in bulk via csv without having to manually change each record you can use this procedure to edit existing vendor records, to add additonal 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 functionality this functionality has two parts export, to export all the current records, and import, to change all the vendors needing a change fispan strongly recommends exporting first before importing this will confirm that the csv file is structured correctly since the row structure is different for each data type as long as the id fields have not been modified or changed, you will be able to re import the same data multiple times to update existing rows step 1 navigate to the payment methods page from anywhere in intacct, you can navigate to the payment methods page click on your plugin and then payment methods to begin the export and import process step 2 export click export by hitting export, a csv export of all vendors is directly triggered this csv is structured to facilitate the importing process, so please do not modify any of the columns’ 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 vendorwith an address record creates a row with a data type of email , allowing you to modify the vendor’s email we suggest saving a copy of this file or your records and to provide an easy way to import back the original file if necessary! step 3 import once you have exported the existing vendor bank information, create the import file with your revised vendor bank information by editing the data and creating new rows if you are adding new vendors do not remove any of the column headers or add additonal columns, otherwise, the import will fail
