Source formats

Source Formats defines the layouts of legacy systems the migration tool can read -- column structures, file types and parsing rules for each known origin system. Registering a format lets the institution map and import that source reliably. Implementers maintain these to support conversions from common SACCO and banking packages.

Workflow

Open MFI > Configuration > Tools > Migration > Source Formats
Click New and name the legacy source
Define the file type and expected columns
Set parsing and mapping rules for the fields
Save so it can be selected when starting a migration run
