Import MERA Setup
The following tables provide information on the file formats for importing data entities. All data entities in Property Lease Management start with SB.
Tip: To save time and work more efficiently, use the sample import files (PLM_ImportTemplates-YYYYMMDD.zip) that are provided with Property Lease Management installation download file. If a sample file does not exist, you can export the data entities.
When importing data entities from a Microsoft Excel file, set Skip staging to No. When data is imported with the staging, all Property Lease Management validations are performed on the data being imported. If any errors occur during import, you can review the staging data to check for data import issues.
