Fundamentals for CSV files

While creating CSV-files for import into Nexus, the following requirements must be met regarding structure- und datatypes.

 

Data structure CSV-Format

The transfer file has the following basic structure:

 

file name:                                freely selectable (File can also be zipped)

structure:                                line-by-line

line end symbol:                        CRLF (#10#13)

header:                                in line 1

field delimiters:                        ;(semicolon)

field definers:                        " (quotation marks, applies to All fields)

character set:                        ANSI (Codepage 1252)

decimal separator:                        ,(comma)

Thousands separator:                none, information invalid

 

Data types CSV-format

AN                alphanumeric, string (blank value = " "), max. 255 characters

N                numeric, whole number (blank value = "0")

T                date, DD.MM.YYYY (blank value = " ")

D                Decimal number, two digits after decimal point (blank value = "0")

 

Header

Independent of the filling, every field (even optional fields) has to be in the header line.

If the field has no filling, the fitting blank value of the data-type has to be transferred.

A Nexus importable CSV-File can be divided in different branches.

If the branch is NOT stated in the data description, the abbreviation “A” generally applies.

A

All branches, the information has to be repeated in every invoice-line

K

Head-data: Only the bits of information in the first line of the bill will be evaluated.

Information in this area, starting from the second line, will no longer be evaluated.

Head-data lines must not contain position information (P1 or P2).

P1

Position-data mode 1

Inactive – is only allowed to be filled with blank values

P2

Position-data mode 2 (Bill-position-information)

The handover of the to be processed data happens as invoice line item information, which means for every position of the invoice there will be a new line generated.
