Import Serial Numbers Single Dialog Workspace

Use this workspace to import serial number information for an item receipt in the Item Purchase module or for serial number reporting in the Sales Orders module.

The serial number information must be in a tab-separated file and comply with a fixed format, as described in the Import File island.

You can create your import file using a bar code reader. When, for example, you are making packing and serial number reports in the Sales Orders module, you can collect serial numbers and item numbers using the bar code reader and then import the information into Maconomy in this workspace.

Enter the name of the import file and your purpose for using it. When you click OK, Maconomy imports the data from the file. Maconomy informs you of how the import went in a text file that it places in the same folder as the Maconomy program. The name of this report file is Serial Numbers.<date>, where <date> is the date of the import. You can use a word processing program to read the text file.

If errors occur during the import, Maconomy stops the import process and does not import any data. Maconomy runs through the entire file and reports any errors. Errors occur if the import file contains sales order/item purchase order numbers or item numbers that are not present in Maconomy.
