Use the program Import services for quotes and orders with other systems via the command line or batch file
It is sometimes useful, especially for processes that are commonly repeated, to use them in a link with other programs.
The stand alone options are used for this. Quotes/Orders import can be used in this way.
Use program: PRODIMP
PRODIMP [filename][/QUOTE] [/AUTO] [/DELETE] [/UDF:<parameter filename>] [/SEP] [/FORMAT:nn] [/IGNORENULL]
filename - file with requirements information
/QUOTE – necessary for importing quotes, otherwise this program will start in import requirement mode
/AUTO - silent running
/DELETE - delete import file
User defined
/UDF
Where there is an import parameter for user defined parts the parameter file can be specified on the command line with the UDF option.
PRODIMP testfile /AUTO /DELETE /UDF:prodprm
Separator
/SEP:<separator>
Specify the separator for the file.
e.g.
/SEP:58
/SEP:":"
The separator is either the decimal ASCII number or the character enclosed in quotes
The separator can be any ASCII code between 32 and 127 except the following (0 to 9, A to Z or a to z).
If the separator is not valid an error is reported.
File format
/FORMAT:nn
0 - CSV
1 - XLS
2 - XLSX
e.g. /FORMAT:1
Ignore Null variable answers
/IGNORENULL
If this is used then any NULL values in the file will not be used to blank out variable answers during the import process.
Calculate parts
/CALCPARTS
If this is used then associated product requirement file and part list will be generated after import.
Errors
Any errors created during import and generation of the product requirement file, part list and cutting list files are placed in the QUOTEIMP.ERR file.
