How to import customer attachments in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations

Customer attachment in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations refers to the process of linking a specific customer record to a transaction or set of transactions within the system. This allows businesses to easily track the history of customer interactions and transactions, as well as view customer-specific information such as credit limits, payment terms, and purchase history.

By using customer attachment, businesses can improve their customer service and build stronger relationships with their customers. For example, if a customer calls to inquire about an order, a customer service representative can quickly access the customer’s record and view all past transactions and interactions to provide more personalized and effective assistance.
