Procedures

This section describes the procedures for importing warehouse areas.

Attributes required for the import

Enter at least the following attributes for each warehouse area:

• Identification attributes (business key)
• Mandatory fields

No warehouse area can be imported without the identification attributes. If a mandatory field is missing, post-processing is started in the relevant application if the With correction application has been selected in the Correct field in the Import data dialog window. The mandatory fields of the individual business entities can sometimes be recognized in the respective applications by a grey corner in the input field of the corresponding attribute. The mandatory fields are not marked as such in the field descriptions of the application documentation, as they can vary with regard to this property in the individual Comarch ERP Enterprise installations.

In addition, there are relationships to other business entities that do not belong directly to the imported business entity. These relationships are established via foreign keys. Relationships via foreign keys are indicated by italics in the filter. In order to be able to resolve such foreign key relationships, the identification attributes of the referenced business entities must be selected in the filter. Data referenced via foreign keys cannot be imported together with the referencing data. They must already exist in the system. If attributes other than their identification attributes are specified via the foreign key relationship, these are ignored.

If the primary key of a business object consists entirely or partially of foreign keys, the business object to which this foreign key refers must be resolved in the import file using its identification attributes.
