JSON (file) base data import

  • Your file needs to be a valid JSON according to RFC8259.
  • All base data needs to be included in one file.
  • If you remove data from the file, Kontera will mark it as deleted at well.,
  • Make sure your externalId-fields stay consistent between uploads.
  • All your externalId-fields will be included in the export
  • Numbers handling financial data are encoded as string, but will still be validated if they are proper numbers.
