Dear all,
You can directly push data into axapta tables via Atlas XL(excel interface tool) It validates the mandatory fields and also creates record its automatically. Normally i never use import option, when i have Atlas XL.

You can try to use the AX Admin import - but there is one new complexity with AX 2009 - the global address book must be loaded with customer data as well and I personally have not been very successful doing Admin imports when this is the case. Open the CustTable form, right click and choose Setup, go to middle tab, click edit on the form name, open the DataSources node. There you see all the tables that must be loaded for customer records to display in AX. What state are your 50K rows in? Is it in another database accessible by ODBC? Is it in a delimited text file? My most effective way of importing data when there are other datasources needed is to use an X++ job that creates an instance of axCustTable class. You read the data via ODBC or with one of the IO classes for text files. You use parm methods of the axCustTable class to set fields that you have read. Then you call the axCustTable.save() method. That process will populate all of the tables for you auto-"magically". You may want to get help from a developer for this process.
