2.       SQL Views.  If you want to prepare your records for integration automatically, consider switching from Excel CSV templates to ODBC integration in Workbench, where ODBC connects to SQL complain database with prepared SQL view – it could be Oracle, MS SQL Server, Pervasive SQL, Microsoft Access to give you flexibility idea

3.       SB1 tables structure.  In SDK you can research the structure, however when you need to prepare your Workbench integration, the best idea is to look up relevant tables and their contents in SB1 MS SQL Server company database.  In SB1 View->System Information – this will give you table, form and field info in left lower corner.  Try this – open Inventory->Item Master Data and place the cursor over the field to the right of the Item Number – you should see the table name is OITM and the field name is ItemCode.  Please continue your discovery, if you need help, let us know
