Prerequisites

To connect with Sage Network, you need to create your organization. And, importantly, you need to register your organization in the final step. Check with your administrator if you are not sure.
Data sync
- Select an export template from one of the following:
- SNBPC - Customer sync model
- SNBPR - Business Partner sync model
- SNBPS - Supplier sync model
- SNCPY - Company sync model
These templates are linked to the SN- Sage Network activity code.
- After selecting a template, relevant fields become available. For example, if you selected the supplier template fields like All suppliers and All supplier categories are available. However, All companies or All customers is not available.
- Select the filters you want to use including any ranges.
-
When you select OK, a CSV file is generated containing a first line with headers and the values defined in the export template.
Tables
Each template is linked to a Sage X3 table, such as the BPCUSTOMER table. The fields in the table are mapped to the Sage Network data models.
Table headers in the CSV file that is generated from the sync are defined in Miscellaneous table 968 - Sage Network header. These headers correspond to the expected values from the Sage Network data models. Headers are linked to an export template and assigned an order or rank.
