Creating an Interface - Parameters Tab

  1. Select Integration > Interfaces.
    The Interfaces overview window is displayed.
  2. Click New.
    A dialog box is displayed.
  3. Enter a unique code for the new interface.
  4. Select Bucketizer from the entity list box.
    This specifies the data that is exchanged when the interface is run.
  5. Select Write as the interface mode.
  6. Choose the type of toolkit to be used.
  7. Click the OK button.
    The Interface Entry window opens.
  8. Click the Parameters tab.
    Note:  The Parameters tab is only available if the bucketizer, inventory level, or resource utilization export entities has been selected and it is a write interface.
  9. Select the reference point from the list box. If you choose the other option from the list box, define a date and time in the fields below.
    Note:  Your normal reference point is the start of the work area.
  10. Enter the number of buckets you wish to export in the count field.
  11. Enter the duration and unit of time for each individual bucket.
  12. Assign an identifier offset, if you want your bucket to be labeled with a different day from the day on which it actually begins.
  13. If your external system specifies buckets beginning at a point in time that does not coincide with your reference point selection, you can use the method options to force exported data into buckets beginning at a different point in time.
    For example, while you may prefer to use a work area beginning at 00:00:00 every Monday in Infor Production Scheduling, another system may begin its working week at 00:00:00 on Sunday.
  14. Use the Select button to select the resource groups to which you want to apply this.
    The Resource Group Selection dialog box opens.
  15. Click the OK button to save your changes and close the window. Alternatively, continue populating tabs on this window.
