PowerLocator Inventory Import
The PowerLocator Inventory Import utility allows the import of store address codes with inventory quantity for Where To Buy (for the File Name selected) for a specific locator rule (specified in the Rule field). The PowerLocator rule must be of type Inventory to import information. The file you are importing must be a tab-delimited text file (.txt) in the following order:
Address Identifier (links to address table; text up to 40 characters)
Locator Category 1 (the value for the 1st category defined on rule, e.g., product; text up to 40 characters)
Source Date (part of inventory information; in date/time format)
Source (part of inventory information; text up to 40 characters)
Quantity (part of inventory information; decimal format)
Locator Category 2 (the value for the 2nd category defined on rule, i.e. text up to 40 characters)
Imported codes are validated against the address_code column of the address table and the value must be present before the data will be imported into the PowerLocator Rule.
To access the PowerLocator Inventory Import Utility:
From the Application Function Bar, select Utilities > Address Utilities > PowerLocator Inventory Import.
