Interface Parameters

The Interface Parameters allow you to describe the format of files from other systems to be used for interface into Accounts Receivable. Three file formats that can be interfaced are: a customer records file, an invoice transactions file and a cash receipts transactions file.

Each preliminary parameter screen will be blank on the first entry to it. Click Insert.

Enter Name

Enter the name of the interface format for which you wish to set parameters (maximum 20 characters). This name will appear subsequently on the interface's parameters menu.

The interface's profile record entry screen will be displayed.

If you select a new format, you will be required to enter the start position and length of each field of the interface file. You can enter 000 in the start position and length for those fields that don't exist in the interface file.

Disregard any fields that exist in the interface file but are not listed in the interface's profile record entry screen.

If you select an old format, you will be prompted to make changes to the existing field's start position and length values.
