Vendor Import and Vendor Export is provided to allow the import or export of vendor data in to the accounts payable system.
After Import, the data is shown in the Setup Vendors tabs.
Both the Vendor Import and Vendor Export use same file layout for the first 54 fields. The Vendor Import has additional fields (fields 55-84) that are not used for the Vendor Export.
NOTES
For import, the file can be either a .BCL file or a .CSV file. If it is a .CSV file, and then the file needs to include commas for all fields.
For export, the file must be a .BCL file.
The first line of the file, which is VERSION 1, identifies the file.
Examples:
VENDOR.BCL Version 1
VENDOR.CSV Version 1
