Single Copy Draw Import

Use this import utility to import single copy draw changes from an ASCII file. For example, if you track NIE draw in a different system, you could export draw changes for NIE routes to a file and import them into Circulation.

This option creates a suspended batch of draw changes. The draw changes will replace (rather than adjust) the route’s draw for each day of the week beginning with the start date. A reversal date for the draw change may be specified in the ASCII file, or may be left blank (no reversal date). All of the draw dates interfaced must be unpublished, and only draw changes for single copy routes can be imported.

To import draw changes:

• Create an ASCII file containing the draw change information. The file format is defined in File Mapping.

• Select Utilities | Import | Single Copy Draw to display the Single Copy Draw Import window.

• Click Add and complete the following fields.

Field	Type	What to enter
READ OPTION	predefined	Indicate whether to edit or commit this information. Select commit to import draw records. Select edit to view a report showing the number of records processed (and errors)—you must then run this option a gain and set this field to commit. A batch, description, source and reason are only needed when this field is set to commit.
BATCH	open (8)	Specify an ID for the draw change batch that will be created.
DESCRIPTION	open (30)	Enter a description of this batch.
SOURCE	setup	Enter the source code for the draw change batch (such as “NIE”).
REASON	setup	Enter a reason code for the draw change batch.
OVERRIDE SETUP	yes/no	This checkbox is available only in “commit” mode. Select this checkbox if draw changes should be made for single copy routes that are set up not to allow them (i.e., draw changes = “no” in Route Setup). Notes: The availability of this checkbox is controlled by the “AllowDrwChgOvrd” Transaction Security item.
PRODUCT	setup	Enter the product ID or leave the field blank to use an imported value.
EFFECTIVE DATE	date	Enter the date on which these draw changes will be active or leave the field blank to use an imported value.
REVERSAL DATE	date	Enter the date on which these draw changes should be reversed or leave the field blank to use an imported value.
ADJUST/REPLACE	predefined	Indicate whether these draw changes should adjust existing draw or replace it.
FILE FORMAT	predefined	Enter the name of the file map to use for this import.
FILE NAME	open (30)	Enter the name of the import file in the /dti/exchange/cm directory.

• Click OK and then Continue to import the draw changes. The draw changes will be imported, and a suspended batch created (the batch can be accepted using Batch Draw Change). A processing report will display the number of records exported and any errors.
