I am trying to import sales orders and purchase orders into Axapta. Can someone help me with a job?

Hi,

its a bit vague description for the job. But I am sure the AIF (Application Integration Framework) can help you out here.
Please have a look at this white paper from Microsoft http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/b/d/1bd2e0b9-15f1-46d9-9035-1c9fc2f8b88b/ConfigureAIFForDataExchange.pdf
It helped me set up the AIF for importing of customer invoices. Please post again if you have more specific questions.

We had to do this in our implemetation. Moved from an AS/400 system and had to do a lot of data mapping. Did the data mapping with SQL server DTS/SSIS packages to scrub the data and get it into the same layout as AX tables.

Once that was done, we developed X++ scripts (Classes) that handled the importing. The tricky part is whether these are open sales orders or historical (closed) sales orders or both.
