Role Purpose:
We are implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and need a Data Entry Assistant to support the project on a fixed 12-month contract. This is a hands-on, entry-level role focused on entering and cleaning up data – no prior ERP or Business Central experience is required, though it would be an advantage. Full training will be given on our systems and the data entry standards to follow.
You will be responsible for entering stores and parts information into Business Central, and for extracting, cleaning and migrating historical data from our existing AMOS system so it can be loaded accurately into the new system.
Key Areas of Responsibility:
- Accurately enter stores/inventory data into Business Central, following the agreed data templates and standards.
- Enter and maintain parts master data, including part numbers, descriptions, categories, suppliers and units of measure.
- Extract historical records from AMOS and prepare them for migration into Business Central.
- Cleanse and sanitise data – removing duplicates, correcting errors, and standardising formats and naming conventions.
- Cross-check migrated and entered data against source records to confirm accuracy and completeness.
- Keep a log/tracker of data entry progress and outstanding queries.
- Flag data gaps, inconsistencies or quality issues to the ERP project team.
- Liaise with stores, warehouse and project staff to resolve queries about data.
- Carry out data entry tasks on a repetitive, high-volume basis to agreed deadlines and quality standards.
