You use this program to create operation records based on routing information supplied in a flat ASCII file.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Import | Validates the contents of the import file and import records if there are no errors. |
| Save Form Values | This option is only enabled in Design mode (see Automation Design). Your selections are saved and applied when the program is run in automated mode. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Import method | |
| From file | Indicates you want to import data from a file. |
| Use data grid | Indicates you want to enter data directly into the grid of the Details pane (you can paste the contents of an Excel spreadsheet into the grid). |
| File location | |
| Server | Indicates the import file resides on the server. |
| Client | Indicates the import file resides on the client. |
| File name | Indicate the name of the import file (include the full path). |
| Review file | Loads the contents of the import file into the Details pane. This enables you to validate the lines on the grid prior to importing the file. The Import button is enabled only when all lines are valid. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Specify parent for import | Indicate the parent stock code to which the routing information being imported must be assigned. Otherwise the parent stock code specified in the import file is used. |
| Stock code | Indicate the parent stock code that must be used when importing the file. If you make an entry here then the Parent stock code field in the import file must be blank. |
| Specify routing for import | Indicate a specific routing to use. Otherwise the routing specified in the import file is used. This field is displayed only if you indicated that alternate routings are required. |
| Routing | Indicate the routing that must be used when importing the file. If you make an entry here then the Routing field in the import file must be blank. |
| Calculate capacity required | Calculate the capacity required for the operation. Otherwise the capacity defined within the import file is used. |
| Calculate elapsed time | Calculate elapsed time dynamically. Otherwise the elapsed time defined within the import file is used. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Print the Details | Generate a report of the contents of the Details entry grid. |
| Email the Details | Generate an email of the contents of the Details entry grid. |
| Print the Import Results | Generate a report of the contents of the Import Results pane. |
| Email the Import Results | Generate an email of the contents of the Import Results pane. |
| Email recipients | Indicates the email addresses of recipients to whom you want to email the information displayed in the output panes. |
| Delete file after use | Indicates whether you want to delete the import file after
all records are successfully
imported. In a client/server environment, both the import file on the server and the temporary import file created on the client are deleted. |
| Close the application | Exits the program once processing is complete. Do not select this if you want to be able to view the information on screen when processing is complete or you want to print or email the contents of the Details and Import Results panes. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Validate | This verifies whether there are any errors in the grid,
without actually importing records. Exclamation marks in the Validation status column indicates that one or more fields in the line are invalid. An explanatory error message is displayed when you hover your mouse pointer over the exclamation marks. |
| Prints the contents of the import file, or changes made in the grid. | |
| Export to Excel | Outputs data from the Details pane to an Excel spreadsheet. |
| Search text | |
| Clear | Clears the contents in the search text field. |
| Edit | |
| Copy | Copies the lines in the Details pane. |
| Paste (all columns) | Ensure that you have data for all the columns that can
appear in the data grid before selecting this option. When you select to Paste (all columns) the date you are pasting must be in the format CCYYMMDD. Although no validation errors are displayed, the date is not converted into your SYSPRO date format. |
| Paste (visible columns only) | Pastes data into the columns that currently appear in the
data grid, in the sequence that they appear. When you select to Paste (visible columns only) and the date you are pasting is not in CCYYMMDD format, you are prompted for the date format. The program correctly inserts it into the grid in the SYSPRO date format. |
| Duplicate | Copies the current row to the end of the data grid. |
| Find and Replace |
Displays a summary of the results of the validation/import.
This information can be printed or emailed providing you did not select to Close the application in the After processing completed section.
