Understanding the Customer Master Batch Upload Program

An address book number must exist in the Address Book Master table before you can upload customer information. Enter the address book number in the Address Book field of the Customer Master LOB - Batch table (F03012Z1) when you run the Customer Master Batch Upload program.

The Customer Master Batch Upload program accesses the processed address book records, retrieves the corresponding customer information in the F03012Z1 table and uploads it to the Customer Master by Line of Business table.

If you have customer records that have an associated parent number, you must manually enter the parent/child relationship. You cannot use the batch process to add parent numbers. Parent numbers are stored in the Address Organization Structure Master table (F0150).

Note: If you create your own version of the Address Book MBF (P0100041), you must create a version of the Customer Master MBF program (P0100042) with the same name, because the processing options for the Customer Master Batch Upload program do not contain an option to enter an Address Book MBF version.
