Classification: IMPORTANT
We have made significant improvements to the ARTUPLOAD functionality. The updated solution is now more user-friendly and comprehensible, particularly regarding error handling and field naming. Errors are no longer showstoppers—if one line fails validation, it is logged, and the import continues seamlessly with subsequent lines.
Additionally, older, less intuitive field names have been replaced with clear, standardized API names, making it easier to work with and understand the data.
With these changes, data imports are more reliable, errors are easier to diagnose, and the overall ARTUPLOAD process is significantly more user-friendly.
Summary of Changes
Enhanced pre-validation
Additional checks are performed before data is passed to the standard update methods.
Improved error handling
All errors (from both pre-validation and update methods) are captured and logged in the In/out log view (IOL) application.
If an error is found, the job continues with the next line in the file, rather than stopping altogether.
Field Formatting
The system automatically handles decimal separators (comma vs. period) and certain date formats to reduce errors.
Updated Field Names
All field names have been updated to more understandable API names, with clearer descriptions.
New Fields:
AutoCreateProductUnitAtGoodsReception
This new field has been added to extend functionality.
When activated, product units are automatically generated when goods are registered to stock.
AutomaticallyCreateWorkOrdersForSubstructures
This new field has been added to extend functionality.
When activated, production work orders should be created for sub structures automatically.
Field Blanking
Fields can be blanked out by sending in the value <BLANK>.
This applies to:
CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, InternalNote, CountryOfOriginCode, DomesticCustomsTariffCode, EUCustomsTariffCode and PurchaseGroupName
Please note that this update will replace the current Load Article archive (ARTUPLOAD) on release. We also recommend using the standard rules for field formatting for all other load jobs.
