Uploading Parts Data from Tape

If you receive price or supersession data on tape you must upload the data to the Autoline System.

To upload parts data from tape:

1. From the VOLVO UK OPERATIONS menu, select the Parts price file menu option.

   The MASTER PARTS PRICE FILE MENU is displayed.

2. Select the Load parts data from tape option.

   The system prompts you to select an item from the list.

   Note: You will see up to three files (where ## is the two-character franchise ID):

   • ##.MS.price
   • ##.MS.super (old format)
   • ##.MS.superch (new format)

3. Select the file that you want to upload.

   The system transfers the main files to the data directory and uploads the files automatically. The following message is displayed:

   Done-OK

4. Click OK.

   Note: If the upload fails, speak to your Systems Administrator in the first instance in case there is a problem with your tape device. If there is no problem with the device, contact the distributor of the tape.

5. You must now update the changes on your stock file.

6. To make the changes effective on your system ensure that all users log out and then log back in.
