Import Utility Fields Mapping Tab of Import Employee from ABRA

Use this tab to map and select the fields to import from ABRA into Vision when you run the Import from ABRA process.

The data types in the Deltek Vision Field(s) fields on the Import Utility Fields Mapping tab exist in the Vision EM (Employee) table. Each data type should have a coordinating data type that you enter, when necessary, in the appropriate Expression field.

Field Description
Include Select this check box for each field that you want to import from ABRA into Vision.
Vision Field(s) These fields correspond to the employee fields in Vision. It is to these fields that you map the required ABRA fields (as defined in the Expression fields).
Description These fields include descriptions of the field codes listed in the Deltek Vision Field(s) and Expression fields.
Expression The Expression fields are the ABRA employee fields to be mapped to the Vision employee fields located in the Vision Field(s) column.

Vision imports only those ABRA fields that are marked as Include and that do not have a blank Expression field. If, for example, you enter P_EMPNO in the Expression field that is aligned with the Employee field in the Vision column and select Include, the import utility imports the ABRA field into Vision. If you leave this Expression field blank, the utility does not import the ABRA field into Vision, regardless of whether Include is selected.

Use the drop-down menu to change default mappings or to select a new mapping. If you try to change a mapping for a primary key field, the utility displays an error message indicating that you cannot make the change.

Reset to Default Click this option to reset selected options and text entered in the Expression fields to the defaults.
