Importing Costs from M3 to Optiva
There is some configuration needed on the Optiva side before you can start importing M3 costs to Optiva. First, you must set up a Location in Optiva.
<ItemLocation>
<LeadTimeDuration>P7D</LeadTimeDuration>
<ItemValue>
<UnitValue>
<Amount currencyID="USD">0.2000</Amount>
<PerQuantity unitCode="LB">1</PerQuantity>
</UnitValue>
<CostingMethodCode listID="Costing Methods">Standard</CostingMethodCode>
</ItemValue>
<WarehouseLocation>
<ID accountingEntity="733" location="N00">N00</ID>
<Name>Taylorsville</Name>
</WarehouseLocation>
<ProcurementParameters>
<ProcurementMethodCode>Purchase</ProcurementMethodCode>
</ProcurementParameters>
</ItemLocation>
The <WarehouseLocation>
is used by Optiva to determine the location. In this example, the location in Optiva must be called N00; that location should be marked as a Mfg Location.
Then, a standard Cost parameter, such as COST_N00
, must be configured to store the cost information. The <CostingMethodCode>
must be defined in Optiva, too. Typically, it is Standard. So, on the parameter COST_N00
, specify ATTRIBUTE3
as “STANDARD”.
If Attribute3
is already used, you must configure the code to use something else, but that is a code level customization.
