Import Function

The import function exists on Planning & Risk > Liquidity Planning > Liquidity Planning Data.

The import function processes files in standard text formats:

  • ASCII
  • Unicode

Data sets that already exist will not be overwritten when importing them a second time, but will be added to the list.

Maximum file size: 2.1 MB

The file contains liquidity planning data of one particular entity.

Importing planning data is only possible in periods which are defined in the planning calendar. If a planning record doesn't match the time period in the planning calendar, it will be ignored.

FX rates need to be available for each period in the planning calendar.

Format Rules

Each liquidity planning file format name denotes the number of fields it contains (LMPLN 8 contains 8 fields, LMPLN 15 contains 15 fields). If the file has more than the expected number of fields, Coupa Treasury shows an error message.

The file must not contain any headers or format descriptions.

In the tables above, the value for “char” shows how many characters is the maximum length for that field in the imported file.

Each row in the file contains exactly one data set:

  • ASCII Code 13: carriage return denotes the end of a data set.
  • ASCII Code 10: new-line denotes the end of a data set.
  • The last data set concludes with an end-of-file (EOF).

Select format variables in the File Import dialog:

The field separator may not be used for any other content or format setting within that file.

Fixed lengths are allowed, but still require field separators.

Days and months are always 2-digit values, whereas years are 4 digits. Date separator, date sequence, and file format must match your user settings. 

  • Entity – The entity assigned to the data set
  • Field Separator semicolon (;), comma (,)
  • Date Separator – slash (/), period (.), comma (,), < none >
  • Plan – Liquidity Plan Name
  • Decimal Marker – period (.), comma (,)
  • Date Sequence – mdy, dmy, ymd
  • File Format – ASCII, Unicode
  • Version – LMPLN 8, LMPLN 9, LMPLN 15
  • Entity Identification by – Abbreviation or Company Code

NOTE: For numbers without decimals, the decimal separator is optional. Do not use thousands separators or enclose text in quotation marks. Mark negative amounts with a minus sign (-).

Example Data Sets

For any format version, non-mandatory data fields may be empty. Empty fields still require field separators. The sample data sets below contain examples with empty fields.
