This is a Priority 9 option. Before you can upload the Purchase Invoice File, the verification parameters and the verification control file and controls must be set up correctly. This is normally carried out by, or on advice from, an ADP consultant. The Verification Control File stores a 'magic' number used as a unique identifier on each record added to the Purchase Invoice Verification File. Every time a record is added to the file, this magic number is incremented and re-saved for next time.
Warning: Never change the contents of this file without first seeking advice from Autoline Support.
To access the Verification Control File:
From the OPERATIONS Menu, select the Parts invoice verification option.
The PARTS INVOICE VERIFICATION MENU is displayed.
Select the Verification control file option.
The Auto-verification control file form is displayed.
Set up the parameters as necessary. This file should only contain one record and those parameters are as follows in the form.
Click Save.
This saves the parameters.
This is displayed when you select the Verification control file option from the PARTS INVOICE VERIFICATION MENU. It enables you to set up, and maintain, the verification control file for each Point-of-Sale company.
POS Company number: The Point-of-Sale company number, always set to 00 (zero zero)
Magic number: A system-generated number used internally as a unique identifier for a record. This should always start at zero, but is automatically incremented by the system.
Warning: NEVER change this value, as it can cause corruption of the invoice value/data and some invoices may therefore not be correctly loaded and cause errors in registration and verification.
