DE-B Import Inventory
Purpose of Program
Use this program to import inventory items from another system or from an ASCII file developed outside of the system. While designed to be used at system startup, this program can be used on an ongoing basis if lists of new items are periodically received from customers or developed by Engineering in a CAD system.

They are Class, Type, Stock U/M, Price U/M and Purch U/M and are indicated with an asterisk on the entry screen. All other fields are optional. Detailed descriptions of most listed fields are given in IN-B Enter Inventory. In addition to the above listed fields being required, the Class and Type fields are validated against the values entered in SM-C Enter Item Classes and the acceptable list of Types in ~~IN-B Enter Inventory~~, the Vendor#1, #2 and #3 are validated against Vendor codes entered in AP-A Enter Vendors, and the Customer code is validated against customers entered in AR-A Enter Customers. Standard Cost components imported for Material, Freight, Labor, Setup, Outside Processing, Fixed Overhead, and Variable Overhead are the This Level Costs and the Standard Cost is the Total Rolled Up cost including all levels.
