Orders upload - Sage X3
Sage ERP X3 has custom templates and allows for the import of data like this as a standard feature. To set this up with the right format for SIA you need to create a template with the following structures in the Import/Export Template screen.
This section details the set-up of a standard import template for the import of external supplier orders for products to be purchased. To configure inter-site orders and / or manufacturing orders, you will need to amend the fields being referenced to accommodate these data types.
The first part of the setup has to do with the overall layout and make sure you set the parameters as shown.
Now select the fields tab and set the fields to be imported as shown.
The setup is now complete and this template can be used for your import formats going forward.
Once the automated link has been set-up by SIA for your environment, you will now use the import function under Usage, to load the data you created from the ordering screens in SIA.
This process will import the order into X3 and then your existing workflows and links to get this to your supplier, should take over as normal.
