Learn how to Import NDIS Support Catalogues into Maica

How do I import an NDIS Support Catalogue?

This is an extension of the Data Import Utility article. Please read the previous article before continuing on to this one. You can access it immediately by clicking here.

1. Select Flow Setting and Upload your File

The first step of importing an NDIS Support Catalogue is identical to any other Data Import and is explained here. This article will continue based on the assumption that these steps have been completed.

2. Configure your Import

Once you have clicked Import, you will have the ability to configure your import to your preference. This is where you may specify which Price Lists you want Maica to make for you, as well as offer a useful description for future reference, as shown below.

It is our recommendation to select a description comparable to the period covered by the Support Catalogue, or the filename of the actual CSV file received from the NDIS website for clarity.

3. Confirm and Process

Once you have configured your import, simply click Confirm to start the Import Process. The data from the NDIS Support Catalogue File will be interpreted by the NDIS Import Support Items Catalogue Flow in Maica and processed.

As part of the import, you should understand how your data will be altered. Once done, your Support Item and Price List data will be changed as follows:

• Any new Support Item in the NDIS Support Catalogue will be created as a new Support Item in Maica

• Any existing Support Item in the NDIS Support Catalogue that is updated, i.e the Name is changed, will update the existing (corresponding) Support Item record in Maica.

  • The records are matched based on the Support Item Number as this is in the file and on the Support Item record in Maica.

• As part of the import process, Maica will create new Price List records for each of the Areas selected in Step 2.

  • The created Price List record(s) will have the following name format: NDIS Supports {STATE} ({CREATED DATE})

  • Example: NDIS Supports VIC 25/10/2022

• Each of the Support Item records created or updated by the import will be added to the new Price List(s) so it can be used whenever this Price List is selected in Maica

For any import errors, the Support Item record will need to be created or updated manually and added to the necessary Price List(s).
