In Japan, the Japan Postal Office provides a ZIP code file that you can import into Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. This topic walks you through the process for importing ZIP/postal codes. This example uses the JPMF demo data company.

Prepare the ZIP code file

  1. Download the comma-separated values (CSV) file from the Japan Postal Office home page: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/zipcode/download.html

  2. Open the file for editing, and add the following row for column headings.

     LocalAuthCode,OldZipCode,ZipCode,PrefectureName,KanaCity,KanaStreetName,State,City,StreetName,MoreZipCodeFlag,SmallerAreaFlag,StreetChomeFlag,MoreStreetFlag,UpdateFlag,Reason

  3. In the file, add zeros before any ZIP code that has fewer than seven digits. (ZIP codes that have fewer than seven digits won't be accepted.)

Create a data import project and import the data

  1. Go System administration > Workspaces > Data management.
  2. Click Import to create an import project.
  3. Enter a name, and select ZIP Postal Code Japan as the entity name.
  4. Upload the data file.
  5. Click Import.
  6. Validate the results of the import process.
