Uploading master data
The Master Data Upload feature allows an enterprise administrator
to upload certain system data for their organization in a bulk or
batch mode format. This facilitates the process of loading large amounts
of data onto the system in an efficient manner and avoids the need
to manually enter the details of each entity type (also called as
upload type) into the system, especially if the entity type contains
a large amount of master data. The topics in this section will walk
you through the overall configuration of master data upload.
