Hello,

I am continuing to look at Ofbiz as an option for ERP software for our
company.  I have two cases where I will need to import data into Ofbiz
and I am curious what the best practice recommendation for how to do
this would be.

The first would be during initial setup, when I would be loading our
product catalog.  Would the best method of doing this be to create an
XML Entity Engine file that I import through the WebTools interface?
This process would be performed by me, so ease of import is not a
large issue.

The second would be to import orders from a legacy database
application.  This would be ongoing, until the point in time that the
legacy system is completely replaced by the new ERP solution.  The
legacy system generates an Excel spreadsheet with an order number and
various other data.  This process would be performed by end-users, so
it would either need to be automated, or a very simple step for them
to import a file containing the data.

Thanks for any advice or feedback.

Kevin
