Item Master Data Mass uploading via Data Management In the world of data management, it has become essential that the business users are provided solution for mass data uploading. Where the data is managed by very less expert users who’re required to upload and download data in bulk at very less given time. Today I am going to show you the way to upload Item Master Data quickly and with no errors via Data Management in MS Dynamics Commerce and Retail. Note: Masters as Item group, tax codes, units, category, item model group etc should be pre-configured or created for this to work accurately otherwise this operation will fail with errors as the masters are not created/configured. For this operation to work first we need to identify the fields that are required to do two steps. First, Item Master Creation Secondly, Item Master release in released products. So now to identify the necessary “importable” fields first we will export the required fields in excel as below. Goto Workspaces> Data Management and in Data Management click Export Button. Upon Clicking “export” create project as data filled in below. Desired Project name in my case I have named it “product master fields” Generate Data package to be set as No. Now when project is created click on “add entity” Select entity as “Released product creation V2” or anything as “Released product creation” whichever is latest according to your version of D365. Select output as “EXCEL”. Use sample file and skip staging to be set as NO. Very important step to select fields to be set as “Importable Fields” And “add” the entity to the project. Now again click on “add Entity”, select the rest of the fields as mentioned in pt. II., and select “released products V2) in entity name and click on add. Now click on export button as below Now on export screen Click on “refresh” button until you see  mark on thee screen, and then “download File” to obtain excel file. Note: click each project one by one to download table fields. After downloading file replace the data with required information that you want in your product master so that we can Import the Master data. (Note: You can hide fields that doesn’t require user to input any data but are required by AX this you will identify in released products format). Assuming that you have created your files for upload we will now continue with “Import” data, Goto Workspaces > Data Management and in Data Management click “Import” Button. Upon clicking “Import” create a project and add entity as below. Add group name, in my case added as “import Master Data” Now when project is created click on “add File” Select entity as “Released product creation V2” or anything as “Released product creation” whichever is latest according to your version of D365. Click the upload data file and select the appropriate file, in my case it is “Released product creation V2 – Format.xlsx” Select “Source data format” Click close. Now again click on “add File”, select the rest of the fields as mentioned in pt. VIII., and select “released products V2) in entity name and click on Close. After adding both the files, now its time to click on “import”, but first ensure that the sequence of the below files are as such 1st for Released Product Creation and 2nd for Released products. If this is not in sequence the above operation will fail. After Clicking on Import, you will have to click on refresh button until the  come. Upon success you can see the validation message that the master data has been uploaded successfully and released the product for use. In my case I had uploaded a test product which got successfully uploaded to the system. Hope this helps!

While creating a new Background Workflow, we all have noticed the below message. Microsoft Flow( Power Automate) is a growing platform with a variety of new connectors getting added overtime. However, we all are aware that Workflows have a great capability when it came to including steps like Call Plugins, Workflow Assembly. And thus, when we think of replacing our existing background Workflows with Microsoft Flows, we might worry about losing our existing Plugin Customizations used in Workflow. So, here are a few easy steps to use all the existing Workflow steps in your Power Automate( Microsoft flow). Step 1: Create an Action. Lets take an Example: We had a workflow which triggered on When a Note was created and had the below steps: The first step Notes Collection, was Workflow assembly that was customized to send history all  notes in a Tabular Format, and was something we wanted to use in Power Automate and so we created the below Action. The Action has the exact same steps as that of the Workflow. Step 2: Create a Flow with a trigger same as  your Workflow trigger and call the action. Once we have created the Action, our goal is to deactivate the Workflow, and call the Action from our power Automate. To do so, we will add the below step: This step is in the Common Data Service(current environment) Connector. Since we have action that belongs to Entity Note, we will create bound action. If we have a global action, which needs no identifier we can add the step- Perform an unbound Action. Conclusion: Any Workflow that runs in background and uses Plugins or steps that you would prefer not to change but to use them directly in your Power Automate, then here’s an easy way.

Problem Statement: Data Cleansing is always considered as a tedious task. When we have a look at our CRM systems we might find data full of duplicates, test records or blank records. A well defined approach comes in handy to systematically clean up your data. Below is the approach to clean Account data in dynamics CRM. Approach: We need to follow the below steps for cleansing the data. Step 1: Segregate the data Download the accounts data and segregate it in below sheets. Blanks Test Records Duplicates Step 2: Deactivate the test and blank records. These records are not of any use and so the right thing to do is deactivate this records. Step 3: Analyze the Duplicates For the duplicates, we will use the OOB Merge Functionality of CRM. Understanding Merge Functionality in CRM: D365 CRM has OOB functionality to merge two records. We can select the records we want to merge and then click on Merge button on the ribbon. Once we click on merge a pop up will ask us to choose the master record. The master record is the one that will remain active in the system which the other record will automatically become inactive. All the child records of this record will be moved to the Master record, also the inactive record will have a notification saying ” Merged with XYZ record”. We need to analyze our data on the below points, so that we choose the right Master record: A) Important Fields – For any records, fields like ID, Address, Name might hold significance and a record that has these fields has greater chances of being the Master record. B) Related Records- If we take an example of Account entity, it has related opportunities, contacts, projects, cases; the account record which has more no of related records can be the master records. With an Advanced Find we can get the count of related records. Analyzing the data on above points will help us decide the correct master record. Step 4: Deactivate/ Merge the records Once analysis is done, we have a better clarity for deciding the records to be merged or deactivated. Conclusion: Clean and precise data makes working with systems fast and easy. The above systematic approach for data clean up proves a boon when we have large amount of data.
