Git Repository for Import Scenarios

Hi Acumaticites,

 

Good morning. I have been busy building import scenarios for various transactional screens. With a little elbow grease, one can usually find some posting here with someone sharing an import scenario that is working. The reality is that many of these import scenarios are very specialized to the Acumatica implementation which they are used in.

 

Anyways, it seems like it would be quite helpful to have a publicly shared Git repository with various “sample” import scenarios (more than the “out of the box” shared import scenarios that come with Acumatica). Of course, one would want these organized by module and screen with a description pertaining to the destination system (1 branch or many branch, ...). One would describe the usage too (e.g. initial load of a master-detail screen or an update to a master-detail screen).

 

One could place a safe harbor note about the risks about using these shared import scenarios in production environment. Of course, one would want to mask or obfusacate the source data that should not be shared.

  1. Has anyone created a publicly shared Git repository associated with import scenarios?
  2. Any reasons not to do this?

Regards,

Patrick

@PatrickBacon Import scenarios are one of the most powerful—and yet most under-documented—features in Acumatica. Since official support is limited in this area, I believe a shared resource could really benefit the community.

 

I’ve set up a placeholder GitHub repository here:

https://github.com/variuxinc/acumatica-import-scenarios-samples

If you're interested, I'd be happy to invite you as a maintainer so we can collaborate.
 

I also reviewed the Acumatica Community guidelines and didn’t find anything that would prevent this type of community contribution—but if anyone sees an issue, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi David (​@variuxDavidE)

 

Yes, it just seems like the right thing to do (collaborate, making each others work more productive). I’ll let you know if I have any questions.

I’ll aim to add 1 per week or so. Perhaps we can dm on conventions and standards at some point.
