QUOTEIMP - Quote Import



What is

This process facilitates bulk TRADE entry for new quotes either as a take-on procedure for new companies or for regular imports.

QUOTEIMP imports TRADE records from a file located on ITAS server directly into ITAS. The format of the file is strictly controlled and any deviation from the format will result is rejection.  QUOTEIMP currently allows import of new quotes (phys01 records), commissions (phys02), costs (phys03), options (phys04), price fixations (phys05), Columbia trade registrations (phys01af records) and traffic data. The file to import is a text TAB delimited file with an extension of  ‘.Txt’, can be created from an Excel worksheet.
S01 is used to define (View/Data Import/Export Fields/phys01 – [xx_imp01]) which TRADE fields can be included in the import file (Hivedome maintained list  e.g. afi, warehouse, destination, port of origin)   The list is maintained automatically with the mandatory fields needed by ITAS e.g. CounterParty, contract type, contract terms and also with the list of fields nominated in S01/View/Physicals/page 5/Mandatories.  The System Manager ticks which fields can be included on the import .txt file. The import file only needs the mandatory fields whereby any of the other selected fields can be included e.g. a warehouse/stock import would need Warehouse, Rotation ref etc whereas new business probably would not need those particular fields.
Cell A1 must contain the file type, i.e. phys01, phys02, phys03, phys04, phys05, phys14, phys01af or traffic.
The 2nd row must contain the ITAS database names, as selected in S01 e.g. phys01_contype phys01_takeonref

Row 3 onwards contains the data records to import. The last row is determined by the completely empty line.
To execute the import, select the drive, folder and filename of the file to import and click the Import button. The drive and folder are defaulted from a prior use of this application.
In the case of importing phys01 records, a batch no. is created which is unique to that import process. The batch no is stored in phys01_batchref on successfully imported records.  TRADEIMP will reject the file from processing, if there are missing or extra fields to the master list.  A log of failure rows will be produced for the user to re-enter. The failed entries will be due to the subsequent detailed TRADE validation e.g. invalid codes, inconsistent cross-referenced data.
There is a procedure to un-do an import by selecting from the Previous Imports grid and right-click for Delete import. The process ensures that the data is still virgin before allowing removal and a report is produced of the actions taken (failure and success).
An OPRINT report is also created listing each line of the import file, including an indicator if the record was rejected. The name of the OPRINT report for
phys01 records is:  YYYYMMDD_Batchnnnnnn.IRP
phys02 records is:  YYYYMMDD_ComsnImport_HHMMSS.IRP
phys03 records is:  YYYYMMDD_CostsImport_HHMMSS.IRP
phys04 records is:  YYYYMMDD_CmyOptionsImport_HHMMSS.IRP
phys05 records is:  YYYYMMDD_FixationsImport_HHMMSS.IRP
phys14 records is:  YYYYMMDD_SpecificationsImport_HHMMSS.IRP
phys01af records is:  YYYYMMDD_TradeRegistrations_HHMMSS.IRP
traffic records is:  YYYYMMDD_TrafficImport_HHMMSS.IRP

Where:
YYYYMMDD  is the date
nnnnnn          is the batch number and
HHMMSS      is the time

After import the file is moved to the \Old folder and renamed. If the folder holding the file does not have a \Old sub folder, it is created. If the file already resides in a \Old folder it is not moved or renamed. The name of the new file the same as the OPRINT files except with an extension of ‘.Txt’
There is a process to remove (undo) the IMPORT of phys01 records using the batch reference. When an import has been completed satisfactorily, the contract references can not be re-used. Action right click…Un-Import. Any contracts which have been amended may not be reversed. The Un-import procedure creates an OPRINT report named  YYYYMMDD_DeleteBatchnnnnnn.IRP and is also record in the log.

Data Field Names (Row 2 of the file)
Phys01
The fields which are permitted on the phys01 import must be those nominated in S01…View…Data Import Fields. The sequence of the columns is not important. The data fields indicated as mandatory in S01 must be present in the file and with content. Non mandatory items need not have a column in the file and if present may have a blank content. For example phys01_contype must be present and phys01_portorig does not. Other items are company specific, for example if the company has pack code nominated as mandatory in S01, then it must be present in the file.    The phys01_contype determines ‘P’ (Purchase)  or‘S’ (Sale). QUOTEIMP can apply its own range of quote references (ctrl30_applyquotebase = Y) otherwise it will use the standard P and S ranges.
