Platform: Create Import Scenarios More Easily in the Modern UI

Note: This feature is available as part of the Modern UI, which we are rolling out in stages in 2026. Some Modern UI features are available for limited testing in demo instances in 2025.2.1. Do not turn on Modern UI in production environments.

In MYOB Acumatica 2025.2.1, we've made it easier than ever to find the needed fields for an import scenario! Just search by the element’s UI name while mapping the scenario—no need to guess which field to pick. You can use the updated Element Inspector tool anytime you’re unsure about which element to select.

Selecting a Field for Scenario Mapping

You define the mapping of a scenario on the Mapping tab of the Import Scenarios (SM206025) or Import by Scenario (SM206036) form. In the Modern UI, here’s how you select the field or action you need:

  1. Click the magnifier button in the Field or Action column.
  2. In the Search box of the Select - Field or Action dialog box (see below), type the name of the UI element. You’ll see all the matching elements, grouped by their location on the form.

  3. Double-click the needed element to select it for mapping.

Verifying the Element with the Element Inspector

If you have doubts about which element to select in the mapping on the Import Scenarios (SM206025) or Import by Scenario (SM206036) form, use the Element Inspector tool to verify the element.

Imagine that you want to create an import scenario for the Customers (AR303000) form. You need to map the imported customer class to the Customer Class box. To verify which element you’ll select for this box in the scenario, you do the following on the Customers (AR303000) form:

  1. Click the Settings button on the form title bar and click Inspect Element (see below).

  2. Click the Customer Class box on the form.
  3. In the Element Properties dialog box, notice the data field and view name: CustomerClassID and BAccount (see below).

Now on the Import Scenarios form, you search for Customer Class in the Select - Field or Action dialog box and select the item that has CustomerClassID and BAccount in its description (shown below).

Tip: You can use the Element Inspector tool if you have one of these:

Adding Custom Keys

Adding custom keys to a scenario mapping is now also much more convenient. You no longer need to prefix the key name with @@ and insert an extra line into the mapping.

Instead, you select the check box in the new Search column on the Mapping tab of the Import Scenarios (SM206025) form for the field. (This column is hidden by default.) To add a custom key:

  1. Add the field that you want to use as a custom key on the Mapping tab, as described in the sections above.
  2. Open the Column Configuration dialog box for the table, and select the check box for the Search column to make it visible.
  3. Select the Search check box for the added field (Item 1 below).

    You select this check box for any field that you want to designate as a custom key. You can use the fields of the Summary object or unique fields of the detail objects.

    Notice that the system automatically selects the Search check box for the Type and Reference Nbr. key fields (Item 2). For key fields, this check box is always selected and read-only.
