This option will allow the user to “load” a file containing the snapshot budget figures taken from the finance office system. This data will not be validated during the loading process. The file name and date of loading will also be stored along with the budget accounting figures.
After choosing this option you are presented with an overview screen that may contain previous imports:
: This will start a new import run. See section 278.11.1.
: Select a previous run and then this option to view the details. See section 278.11.2.
: Select a file and then this option to delete it. The system will ask for confirmation.
: Select an imported file and then this option to print a report. The system will switch to the standard form for generating output.
: This will allow access to the export system level parameters. See section 278.11.3.
: This will start a new import run. The following input form is displayed:
Enter the file name (excluding the path) that requires loading. The system defaults to C:\temp for the correct file, but you can change this with the parameters option.
The data loaded from the in-coming file will not be validated as such. Each in-coming record will be validated to ensure that each record has the correct number of fields and that the amount fields contain only numeric characters.
If the filename entered can not be found the following message will be displayed.
Note
The budget codes in the imported file may match existing budget codes on the system, but do not have to. The imported budget details are not directly related to the budgets shown in AFO 243. There are no links between them. The import is purely for convenience as a way of displaying the financial system view of any funding that they are using. Normally the budget codes should "match".
General information:
· ASCII
· tab delimited fields
