Uploading Parts Data from Tape

The following routine allows you to upload price or supersession data from tape to the Autoline system and convert it to the correct format.

To upload parts data from tape:

1. From the MERCEDES-BENZ OPERATIONS menu, select the Price file menu option.

   The 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 converts the files automatically. The following mesage 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.
