WebLink - Order Importer

Before the update process is started the program will review the import database and remove all records that have already been imported successfully. Any reports on the import status should be run prior to importing again.

Several fields are required for the system to be able to import. Other fields are optional and will be used if they are in the database. For example, the customer number is mandatory or the order cannot be completed. If an invalid customer number is used the system will not process the record and will return an error that says "No customer Number" or "Invalid Customer Number". If left blank the system will try to create the customer number.

If a field is included in the database that is not required, and it is included on the list below, it will be used instead of system defaults. For example, the item description is not required. If it is not used in the database it will be automatically extracted from the item file. The customer terms are not required and would be extracted from the customer file.

The Sales Order number (SONO) will be generated automatically by the system. If one customer's records should be divided into several orders, make sure each of the records to go on each order has a separate number. The system will still assign new numbers but the old order number will determine which records go on which order. If the order number field is not used, or left blank, each customer will receive one order.
