• Enter a position number in the Position field for each field that is
included in the file being imported.
For example, if you select the Item Import interface, and you want to
import the Item Number, Item Description, Unit of Measure, and
Each Count, the each data line in the import file must have four fields
fields.
In the utility, assign a position for 1, 2, 3, 4 in the interface template.
(Be sure that each field is assigned a position. If you assign positions to
1, 3, and 4 while ignoring position 2 the data import will not work
properly.) For the Item Import interface, the utility may look something
like this:
1- Item Number
2 - Item Description
3 - Unit of Measure
4- Each Count
In the import file, the data in the file being imported must include the
fields selected in the utility; these fields must be ordered according to
the assigned positions in the utility; hence, for our example, the data in
each line of a tab delimited file would look something like this:
New Item Test Item Entry EA 10
New Item 2 Testing EA 20
• For detailed information about each interface, please refer to the sec-
tions that follow.

database will become corrupted. For more information, please refer to
“Precautions When Entering Data” on page 20 .
The Host Picking Interface
The Host Picking Interface communicates picking order activity back to a

shipped against a picking order are exported to a text file in a specified
folder location.
