Master data

You can use the Exchange module to import and export data to and from LN and to import and export data between LN and other applications.

The procedure consists of setting up the exchange scheme and file layout for the exchange, and then performing the actual import and/or export of data to and from ASCII files.

An exchange scheme defines the general parameters used during an import or export such as the location of files, use of an audit trail, and other default settings. The exchange scheme contains all definitions of data that must be imported or exported. The ASCII files, conditions, batches, table and field relations, ranges, and conversions are grouped together in an exchange scheme.

The result of an import process is the data imported into LN tables, and the result of an export process is the LN data exported to ASCII files. You can then use these ASCII files in various applications to import data that originated in LN.
