Import one or more data files into D365 through a DMF data project, as the signed-in user.

definition_group is the data project name (created automatically if it doesn't exist), company the legal entity id (e.g. USMF). files lists {entity, file_path} pairs: entity is the DMF entity name as shown in D365 (e.g. "Customer groups"; find it with search_entities), file_path a .csv or .xlsx whose first row holds the entity's field names (staging column names, e.g. CUSTOMERGROUPID; list them with get_entity_fields). Several entities can be imported in one call; D365 decides the order from their dependencies. format is the file format in the package, free text and case-insensitive: "CSV" (default) and "EXCEL" are the common ones; other CSV/Excel-based source formats on the environment (e.g. "CSV-Unicode") also work. An unknown value returns the available ones. Composite and XML-based entities are not supported. With wait=True, polls until the import finishes (or the timeout); otherwise returns the execution id to check with get_execution_status. dry_run only validates and builds the package.

Create an empty DMF import data project. Optional: import_data creates the project itself if it doesn't exist, and the first import defines its entities.

Run an existing DMF export data project and save its data files to output_dir.

The files are saved in the project's own source format (CSV, Excel, ...). Returns the saved paths.

Get the status of a DMF execution (NotRun, Executing, Succeeded, PartiallySucceeded, Failed, Canceled), with per-entity status and error messages if it failed.

List existing DMF data projects (name, Import/Export, description).

name_filter is a case-insensitive substring of the name or description; operation_type optionally restricts to "Import" or "Export". Use the names with import_data / export_data.

List the entities defined in a DMF data project, with source format and execution order (unit/level/sequence).

Search the DMF entity catalogue by case-insensitive substring of the entity name, target entity or module (e.g. "customer", "AccountsReceivable"). Returns entity names to use with import_data, plus category and module. Composite entities (X composite) are not importable here.

List the importable columns of a DMF entity: the staging column names to use as the header row of the data file, with data type, max length and whether D365 flags the field as required. System-managed fields are omitted.
