Customer XML Upload Format

go-arrow-red   For information on procedures and formatting rules that apply to all KFS batch uploads on the administration menu, see Batch Upload Basics.

Keep these rules in mind:

      The customer upload file must begin with the standard XML version line such as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      The root (first) tag for Customer files must be the <customers> tag, and the file must contain only one < customers ></ customers> tag.

      Following the customers tag must be the <customer> tag. This tag contains other identifier tags that describe an AR customer.

      The sequence of <customer></customer> can repeat one or more times.

      Each customer tag must have at least one <address> tag and can have multiple addresses defined.
