Business Intake / Import · Field Guide
Business Data Source
The source system or export type associated with a business-data package.
Why LAWNSNOWAPP asks for it
Source context improves field discovery and makes uncertain mappings easier to review.
How LAWNSNOWAPP uses it
OSBlueprint stores the source description with intake metadata and still validates actual file contents independently.
Example
Choose QuickBooks Export and identify QuickBooks Desktop as the source program.
If you leave it blank
Discovery still inspects the file but has less contextual guidance.
If you change it later
The intake metadata changes; source file values remain unchanged.
Common mistakes
- Guessing the source system
- Assuming the source label proves every file format
