General import guidelines for the SAP Customer Data Platform include several best practices to ensure successful data integration:

A. CX flows should be deactivated for data imports.This guideline helps prevent any potential conflicts or performance issues that might arise from CX flows processing data in real-time during the import process.

D. Metadata fields should be used during an import process.Utilizing metadata fields allows for the inclusion of additional contextual information about the imported data, enhancing its usefulness and applicability within the platform.

E. Imported data file size should not exceed 250 MB.This guideline ensures that data imports are manageable in size, facilitating smoother processing and integration of data into the platform, and avoiding potential system overload or performance degradation.

Adhering to these guidelines helps ensure that data imports are conducted efficiently and effectively, maximizing the value of imported data within the SAP Customer Data Platform.
