Summary
This guide will cover the process of importing a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central general ledger into MindBridge.
Notes/Prerequisites
Note that the General Ledger column mapping section of this guide is based on data exported using our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Export the general ledger guide and after transforming using our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Transform the general ledger guide.
Import data
- Import your general ledger file into MindBridge through the File Manager, or by importing directly to the General Ledger section on the Data page. For step-by-step instructions, follow our Import a general ledger guide until the Map Columns step.
- At the Map Columns step, map the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central fields as follows:
MindBridge Column | MS Dynamics 365 BC Field | Fields used in MindBridge | Used in Analytics* | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Account ID | G/L Account No. | Required | Yes | |
Effective Date | Posting Date | Required | Yes | Appears in format M/D/YYYY |
Amount | Amount | Required | Yes | |
Transaction ID | Entry No. or Document No | Recommended** | Yes | Please refer to our Transaction ID guide if one is not readily available. Also, see note ** below this table |
Memo | Description | Recommended | Yes | This will enable the Empty Text control point and allow you to see the memo field for each transaction/entry |
Account Description | G/L Account Name | Optional | No | Can be left out as this field will be picked up from the Chart of Accounts |
Type | Gen. Posting Type or Document Type | Optional | Yes | |
User ID | User ID | Optional | No | Use to sort and filter results for reports |
* Optional columns, even if not used in the analytics, can be included for filtering and other visualizations, as indicated under Notes.
** Transaction ID is required but does not necessarily need to be in one single column. In the Review Data step of the ingestion process, MindBridge will recommend a transaction ID based on your data, or you can choose and/or combine different columns to create one.
