An input for 'parentcustomeridtype' field is required in order to process lookup field 'parentcustomerid' correctly. The input value should be one of the following entity names, or its corresponding entity type code in integer format: 'account', 'contact'.

An input for 'parentcustomeridtype' field is required in order to process lookup field 'parentcustomerid' correctly. The input value should be one of the following entity names, or its corresponding entity type code in integer format: 'account', 'contact'. 


Solution:
This error will occur when you map the "parentcustomerId" to CRM destination using text lookup but "parentCustomerId" field is customer dataType it contains both account and contact id. It will decide based on the "parentCustomerIdType" field.

In order to solve the issue we would need to map that field in the CRM destination

Check whether dll is 32 or 64 bit

Sn Path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin>CorFlags.exe D:\Source\Data\HelperUtility.dll

Download CorFlags Tool

To Determine the type of dll:
Any CPU: PE = PE32 and 32BIT = 0
x86 bit: PE = PE32 and 32BIT = 1
64-bit: PE = PE32+ and 32BIT = 0

Check dll is signed using SN.exe tool

Sn Path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin
sn -v D:\Source\Data\HelperUtility.dll

Download SN Tool

If it is signed then:
