Load Products and Product Text - SIUTLP

This process will create and replace product information in BusinessPlus from a comma-delimited flat file data. Free form product text can also be loaded by this utility from a comma-delimited file.

The user will be prompted for the following information:

  • The type of data trying to be imported (Product Information or Free Form Text).
  • How to handle duplicate data (Replace or Report Duplicates on the tail sheet).
  • The name of the input file.

The product flat file must be comma-delimited in the same format as if it were exported from Excel. The bolded fields cannot be blank.

Common code SIUT/PROD is required for the SIUTLP interface. It controls the Text Type (field from the text input file) that can be imported into the BusinessPlus pe_desc_dtl. There is a limit of 24 types that can be defined in the long description. Each type must be separated by a comma and no spaces.
