This new feature enhances the data import and export capabilities in Business Central by allowing users to handle files with a .csv structure. This improvement simplifies the process of importing and exporting data, making it more efficient and user-friendly. All data types can be imported directly into any table – often a journal batch – streamlining data processing and entry.
The feature facilitates export of data to other solutions within the company and significantly speeds up data exchange compared to the standard Business Central features, improving overall efficiency.
