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
Export icon to open the VMF Export dialog box which lets you choose which vendors to export.
Use the Transaction details checkbox to include the last invoice details into the export.
This tool allows you to export multiple VMFs and monitor the quality of the output.
Using Filter function to include more criteria in the query.
System admin can either select all or filter by only included vendor group or vendor account.
By default, all companies will be selected or user can select only Eftsure enabled legal entity to improve the performance.
Once the batch is completed, user will be able to review the error as well as export to excel.
Details for each line can be found on Details tab.
[Common error:] missing mandatory fields mainly BSB, bank account, email, phone etc
File can be extracted to Excel for further investigation using standard D365 function.
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.
