Data file layout

The parameters defined in PD Automatic Pricing Setup are not company-specific and allow the service bureau information to be available for all companies and warehouses within your particular environment.

Specify the beginning fields and the number of spaces used by the field as they are defined by your service bureau. The Begins At field represents the starting position of the field and the Length field represents the number of spaces the record uses. For example, the vendor is the string of data from 1 to 6, product line is the string of data from 7 to 12, and product is the string of data from 13 to 27.
