Full name of the pricefile to upload: The specified file name and path are uploaded in Autoline. The file is received from the factory. You can use wildcards in the filename.
Tip: A filename mask is added to the Full name of the price file to upload parameter. Thus you can use the two wildcards * and ? in the filename of the price file.
