# RECORDGENERATOR activity

In Business Integration Solutions, use the **RECORDGENERATOR** activity to write records into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

## Usage

Use this activity to convert an XML document into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central records.

## Concept

An import pipeline reads data from an external system and, through various pipeline elements, translates the data into a readable XML document. Based on an internal document definition, the **Record Generator** reads the data from the XML document and writes it into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Make sure the external data written into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has recordgenthe same data type as in the internal table structure. When the file contains data of a different type, the **Record Generator** returns an error.

- **Document No.:** The **Record Generator** creates the records based on the internal document's table settings and defined relations.
- **Transaction log:** When the transaction log is enabled, all generated records are logged in the message transaction log.
