Importing Confirmation Data

Before an order confirmation data file can be processed into Purchase Control and Stock Management, the file has to be uploaded into Autoline.

Note: The import function automatically creates a detailed record of the import into an Import log. Files imported from the server are deleted afterwards.

To import confirmation data:

  1. Click the File > Import menu bar command.

    A message is displayed.

  2. Click the location button from where you want to load the confirmation order file (a or b):

    1. Server: The program searches for an order confirmation file in the directories that are set-up in the parameters. The file is uploaded.

    2. Local drive: The standard ‘Select file’ dialog of Windows is used allowing the user to manually select the file from the local drive. The selected file is uploaded.

    The Import Confirmation Data form is made available when there are data errors or data messages during import. Otherwise a message is displayed.

Note: It is also possible to load the file via the end of day, module MB and option MSMBCOO.
