Interface File Requirements
Sections in this article
Overview
These are the recommended checks to perform when importing data.
Some of these conditions will send an email alert and cause the night job to end further processing while other conditions will only send an email alert.
K_READY
If the proper date is not found, send email alert, wait X minutes, and try again
K_INTPROD
IP_BIRTH must equal today’s date. If not, send email and bail out of the night job.
If today’s K_INTPROD records is less than a percentage of yesterday’s K_INTPROD records, send email and bail out of the night job
K_INTPRDD
The daytime product interface — the same product data as K_INTPROD, sent during the day rather than overnight.
K_INTDEAL
Supplier deal records. Send the deals your ERP holds so K3S can cost orders against them.
K_PRODLNK
Product links carry demand history across a replacement — an old item to its successor, or a product moving between locations or suppliers.
K_INTDALY
If zero records imported and it is a warehouse work day, send alert but continue processing. Customers vary in how many days a week they expect demand; some capture demand 4, 5, 6 or 7 days a week.
Only check for demand on the days it is expected.
Note: This condition could be expected on a holiday or weekend thus the reason to not bypass the night job.
