Change Bin Locations - Edit - Upload Line Records (v2.8)

Use this option to load item lines into a bin change batch from either:

• a .txt or .csv file that has been created in a third party application or on a Denso scanner and uploaded to a computer (note that there must be a carriage return or line feed at the end of each record in the file)
• a handheld device that imports data and acts just like a keyboard entry, e.g. a P460 scanner.

You can also use this option for manual data entry where you want to quickly key in the item then the quantity.

Technical Tip To access this option, the registration code for Simple Hand Held must be turned on in your company configuration (see "Edit Company - Registration"). In addition, your Registry must be set to allow access to the new Upload options in Micronet. If not, you can load items into a bin change batch by referring to "Change Bin Locations - Edit - Load from Hand Held".

To upload item lines into a bin change batch:

1. Display the Change Bin Locations screen for the bin change batch.

Refer to "Creating a New Bin Change Batch" or "Recalling a Bin Change Batch".

2. Select EDIT | UPLOAD LINE RECORDS.

Micronet displays the Choose Upload Method screen.

3. Complete the following fields:

Technical Tip Micronet ignores any lines in the upload file that start with a forward slash ( / ). You can use this to exclude certain lines from being uploaded or to force Micronet to start uploading at a particular line in the file (e.g. to ignore records that have already been uploaded). If your file contains special characters that form part of the data you want uploaded (such as forward slashes, commas or double quote marks), you need to place these characters and related text in double quotes. For example, to upload the text /itemno, you would need to change this to "/itemno". There may be a setting in the originating program that turns these characters on or off.

4. Choose one of the methods below to enter the item lines.

Uploading from a File

If you selected a file in the Filename field on the Choose Upload Method screen:

1. Select the File button.

Micronet uploads the item lines from the file into the bin change batch, with a progress bar showing the percentage completed. If Micronet encounters any invalid data, such as an incorrect or unknown item number, it displays the Item Selection screen where you can select the correct item. If other item data is missing, Micronet also displays any other screens that would be displayed during the bin change program for entry of the required details such as old and new bin numbers.

When Micronet has finished uploading all the item lines in the file, it redisplays the Change Bin Locations screen showing the uploaded item lines.

2. Continue processing the bin change batch by following the appropriate procedures:

• "Maintaining Bin Change Lines"
• "Managing Completed Bin Change Batches".

Keyboard Entry

If you want to manually enter the item lines:

1. Select the Keyboard button on the Choose Upload Method screen.

Micronet displays the Enter Line Item screen.

2. Complete the following fields:

3. Select the Accept button.

Micronet redisplays the Enter Line Item screen so you can enter further item lines.

4. When you have finished adding item lines, select the Cancel button.

Micronet redisplays the Change Bin Locations screen with the item lines you added.

5. Continue processing the bin change batch by following the appropriate procedures:

• "Maintaining Bin Change Lines"
• "Managing Completed Bin Change Batches".
