Export VMF

This section details the initial process of exporting your CSV file from D365 F&O, as early as possible, in order to be validated by Eftsure, while the projects gets underway. VMF verification can take a few weeks depending on the number of suppliers, and therefore should be started as early as possible in order not to delay go live.

2 methods are described in this document, using Eftsure inside D365 or using Data Management and Standard D365 features.

Eftsure inside D365

If Eftsure inside D365 is installed in your environment, go to the Eftsure Workspace, Tools > Export > VMF Export, click the Screenshot Export icon to open the VMF Export dialog box which lets you choose which vendors to export.

tip

Review data and ensure all mandatory fields reflected correct info. For existing vendors with 9999XXX ABN, if business wishes to turn on ABN & GST lookup and validation, any changes made to those vendors will have an error.

Suggest to delete dummy ABN, either input a valid ABN or leave ABN field blank to avoid same error.
