Request from data migration subgroup for bulk API support.
UI in data import app will allow users to create mappings and defaults for incoming data. Ex: data is probably not sending you the vendor code, so that's something you would set as a default in the mapping profile.

Question from Kristin M:
It would be helpful to have a higher volume of orders for testing
VM via slack "Good question - Kristin. I am also wondering about plans for performance testing. We usually have many thousands of open orders at the end of a fiscal year that have to be rolled over. And I'm also wondering about making sure all of the complex accounting math works out properly. "
Dennis - for this effort a low volume of orders is OK
Kristin will explore whether Chicago could provide a dataset of orders
Virginia asked about the FY on the ledger
Dennis: The FY is the fiscal year series - if you have an FYA2019 FYB2019. When you select a fiscal year for the ledger you're selecting a series of fiscal years. When you roll over you'll only see as possibilities the FY choices within that same series (ex: FYA).
Virginia: Why is this an option? It was confusing to see the FY on the ledger. It seems confusing to allow changes to the FY at the ledger level. Even though it seems unlikely that someone would do that, but it would be very bad if people did
Dennis: This is the kind of feedback that we're looking for - we left things open since we weren't certain how things would move forward
Virginia: Overall it looks great, this is just one thing that jumped out at us when we explored Finance app.
