Create Transfer Template

This procedure is used to define standard settings for transferring documents from M3 to a PC and vice versa.

The documents include budget transactions. The settings controls which budget transactions are to be included in the transfer by a range of accounting dimensions and the name of the PC document. You create templates per budget number and version.

Before you start

  • A budget with basic data must be defined in ‘Budget. Open’ (BUS100)
  • The system administrator must create a folder on the M3 application server where the document can be stored. He/she must also specify the path to this folder in the ‘M3.properties’ file, which is also stored on the M3 application server. Note that these prerequisites are Java specific.

Follow these steps

  1. Start ‘Budget. Open’ (BUS100/B).

  2. Select option 17=‘Trf to/from PC’ for the budget for which you want to create a template to start ‘Budget. Import/Export PC File’ (BUS150/B).

  3. In (BUS150/B), specify an identity for the template and select option New.

  4. On the E panel, specify a name of the template, a range of accounting strings defining which budget transactions are to be copied when using this template, and the name of the PC document. Press Enter.

  5. Return to step 3 to create more templates for the budget. Otherwise, press F3.
