1. Sales Orders in External Scheduling
Sales orders are taken and entered into the retail (dealer) computer.
Data in the sales order must be in text format in order to be processed by the XMLT translation utility.
Your ERP system or other external (to CIMPLICITY) scheduling system is responsible for:
- Creating the sales orders text files
Sales order entries in a text file format are FTP'd to the XMLT server.
- Moving files to a configured RAW_DUMP folder on the XMLT server
- Calling the XMLT translation utility.
Note: More information on calling XMLT is available in the CIMPLICITY XML Translator help . Also, an XMLT User Interface is provided for testing your translation files.
- Creating custom XML translation files configured specifically for your text-based files (sales orders, parts lists, etc.)
