Entity Mapping/Import

The web services and values defined in the Entities tab are available in the next tab, Entity Mapping/Import. This screen allows users to import ERP fields from Sage. Customers for example along with their respective contacts can be imported into Salesforce Accounts and Contacts. The import routine can be run as needed or automated to a set schedule.
