Configuration data packages

Configuration data packages are available as process data packages from Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS). These data packages can help improve the repeatability of implementations and accelerate the configuration.

Data packages contain configuration entity spreadsheets. These entity spreadsheets contain best practice data that you can use to create an initial golden build. The data entities in the data packages are also sequenced appropriately to help guarantee a successful single-click import of the data.

The entity spreadsheets include three types of data:

Business data – The spreadsheet contains standard business data for a mid-sized trade or retail company. This data combines best practices and business standards that can be used as a starting point for your configuration.
Sample data – The spreadsheet contains data that can be used as an example for business-specific data. This data can be imported and used as an example, but it must be changed for individual business practices.
No data – The spreadsheet doesn't contain any data. Several areas of the product are unique to each business and its business practices. These areas must be configured specifically for the organization. These spreadsheets should be reviewed and updated for the organization as appropriate.

For more information about the type of data that is included in each entity spreadsheet in the data packages see the Data packages section of this article. You can modify individual spreadsheets before you import the data packages, or you can import the data packages as they have been supplied and then update your data in the system.

Using configuration data packages

You can access configuration data packages from LCS. You can either apply them to an LCS environment, or download them so that you can manually import them.

Open your LCS project, and open the Asset library.
In the list of asset types, select Process data package.
Click Import.
Select the configuration data package.
Click Pick.

At this point, you can use the Consume function to apply the process data package to an LCS environment.

You can also download the individual data package files from the Data package area. Use the Data management workspace to import the data packages from LCS. For more information about how to import and export configurations, see Copy configuration data between companies or legal entities overview.

Special considerations

System setup

The System data package must be imported before any other data package. By default, the System data package creates a new legal entity that is named ST01. The data packages for the module areas depend on this legal entity.

General ledger

A generic chart of accounts is included in the configuration data packages. When this data is used as it's defined in the Main account entity spreadsheet, posting profiles across the system are filled with default posting data. If you change the main accounts that are used for the chart of accounts, you must also update the individual posting profiles and posting accounts for each area.
