Export Record

The Export Record tab on the Export Definition form is used to configure exports with an Export Type of Table or XML. For Table exports, this form defines the table in the ERP system where the data will be sent. For XML exports, this form defines the data segments in the XML file to which the data will be sent. You can use the Export Record Field tab to define the individual table columns (for Table exports) or fields within the XML data segment (for XML exports).
