Data Upload in Sage CRM

By | January 6, 2011

Few years back most of the organizations maintained their employees, customers, leads, prospects etc details in an excel file for their reference. Then Sage introduced an advance application called Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Sage CRM provided users a platform to maintain their new information in the structured and well formed way.

In CRM user can make manual entries like new companies, persons etc and use them. But some of the companies still maintain their data in the excel sheet and then make the entries manually in the CRM. For those users CRM has provided a feature of Data Upload. In standard CRM we can upload Companies, Persons and Leads data.

But have you ever come across an error like “Data Headers are not too long….” in the standard upload? As shown below:
