General requirements

Generic Masterdata Guideline - Retarus Intelligent Document Processing

  • The CSV structure is documented in each data type worksheet.

  • Data must be provided in UTF-8, ASCII, or UNICODE encoding. Do not use BOM (Byte Order Mark).

  • Use a dot (.) as the decimal separator. Do not use a thousand separator.
    Example: 5365000.24 (five million three hundred sixty-five thousand point twenty-four)

  • Use a semicolon (;) as the delimiter.
    If your data contains semicolons, replace them with a space or underscore (_).

  • Always provide a full data load.

  • Mandatory fields must contain a value.
    If no value is available, use a dot (.) as a placeholder. Otherwise, the import will be rejected.
