Data migration is generally perceived as an overhead and a part of the system setup, so, the effort and approach used for data migration is expected to be simple. Automation is key to being able to quickly and routinely analyzing, visualizing, and contextualizing information. When companies can easily tap into these three metrics, they gain a better understanding and context of their business.
One of the most frequently requested features that we encounter while setting up data in NetSuite is the Data Import feature. Whether users are bulk importing data into NetSuite from an existing data source, or migrating to NetSuite from a legacy system, the data import functionality is usually at the top of the wish list.
In NetSuite, the CSV Import Assistant allows users to import business and customer data from comma-delimited CSV files for common record types. Though the import assistant is a handy tool, it has a few major drawbacks.
A substantial amount of manual effort is required each time data is imported, and each time the import process is performed. This applies to the following tasks:
Additionally, the Import Assistant tool does not allow users to schedule imports ahead of time. If manually importing data into NetSuite is a daily reality, this approach will consume a great deal of time and effort.
To overcome these challenges, ennVee built a script that automates the data import process and allows the process to be scheduled ahead of time.
The automation process fetches the data file from a specific drive or location, and transfers the same to the NetSuite file cabinet, where, based on mapping, the program will create/populate the respective records in NetSuite. The processed data file is moved to a specified archive NetSuite file cabinet, which can be referred to for future use.
Additionally, the automation process is repeatable and only requires a one-time setup with the following pre-requisites:
The automated process provides the following features and benefits:
