Truck Dock Import
Dock (chute) assignments for trucks can be imported from an external file, via Truck Dock Import. The option imports a file that is comma or pipe delimited for a specified effective date and truck departure, and contains two fields. The first field is the truck ID and the second is the dock number.
To import dock assignments:
Create an ASCII file containing the dock assignments, in the format described above.
Select Utilities | Import | Truck Dock Import to display the Truck Dock Import screen.
Click Add and complete the following fields.
| Field | Type | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
FILE NAME | open (30) | Enter the name of the import file in the /dti/exchange/cm directory. |
DELIMITER | predefined | Indicate whether the delimiter used is a comma or a pipe symbol (|). |
EFFECTIVE DATE | date | Specify the date on which the dock assignments will take effect. |
TRUCK DEPARTURE | setup | Select the truck departure for which the dock assignments are being imported. |
READ OPTION | predefined | Indicate whether the file should be processed in edit or commit mode. Edit mode will only read the records and report any errors. Commit mode will create the dock assignments. NEWSYCLE recommends running this option in edit mode before importing the actual dock assignments in commit mode. |
Click OK and then Continue to import the dock assignments. A processing report will display the number of records exported and any errors.
