The SPICS system will generate an Order Confirmation file. This file will be send to the dealer. The yellow arrow in the figure below indicated that the order confirmation file is send to the dealer. The Order Confirmation program can import the Order Confirmation file.
Note: From the process described, please keep in mind that the Autoline LOGISTICBUS Interface only creates a file with the parts movements, which is send to the manufacturer. The Order that is created by the LOGISTICBUS program of the manufacturer can not be influenced by parameter settings or what ever settings in Autoline, it is determined by the manufacturer!
After the Order files have been imported, the Confirmation Order program will search the matching order number file if the confirmation order file is uploaded.
To access the Confirmation Order program, you must:
During import, the Confirmation order program checks the Matching Order Number file for any matching order numbers, if found the Autoline Purchase Oder is linked to the imported Confirmation Order Data.
After the Confirmation Order files have been imported, they can be processed as usual.
If an order in the Confirmation Order file does not exist on the system, the imported orders are created with a minus sign in front of the order number.
In this case it is possible to create a new purchase order or match an existing purchase order. Select the purchase order and select the OK button (only if the PC order no. radio button is selected!).
Select the Binoculars button.
All existing Purchase Orders are displayed to which the currently selected order can be linked, or selecting the Create new button can create a new Purchase order.
The file with the matching SPICS and Autoline order numbers is purged as soon as the program is started.
The records that are purged from the matching order number file are records from which the all lines on the matching Purchase Order have status R from received.
After the record is deleted from the matching order number file it is possible to import a order file with a already imported before SPICS order number.
