Hi,

I am trying to import customer data with all the mandatory fields from the DMF entity.

Following is the error which I got while importing data from staging to target.

Results. Record (‘111’) . Field ‘Name’ must be filled in.  
Results. Record (‘111’) . Error inserting address.  
Data written to target ‘Customer’ (‘0’ records created, ‘0’ records updated)

I have provided data for field ‘Name’, but still I am getting this error.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing here.

Below is the template which I am using.

AccountStatement,Name,AccountNum,CountryRegionId,Currency,CustGroup  
Always,ABC,111,USA,USD,USR

Thanks in Advance.

Sathish

Hi Sathish,

I tried your data, and it imported fine. Perhaps double check ‘Modify source mapping’ to make sure that ‘Name’ in the Source file is mapped to ‘Name’ in the staging table.
