Aligned Ag Preferences
Aligned Ag
- On the computer running Agvance, create a folder to store copies of the XMLs sent to the Aligned Ag Vendor.
Note: It is preferred to create the folder on the same drive where the Agvance data is located. - Back in Agvance, navigate to Accounting / Setup / Preferences and select the Inventory Purchase tab. Within the Purchase Order options, select the Use alternate XML PO interface option. In the Folder to place ASCII PO Exports files area, select the path to the folder created in Step 1 above.
Note: If at any point the folder that was set up to use is no longer a valid folder, the Purchase Orders will fail to send without any error message returned.
If the alternate Product ID or alternate UOM is missing or invalid, a warning message displays the PO line number, DeptID, and ProdID of the Product in question. There are options to continue and save or cancel and correct the information before saving again.
For this validation to be done, Use alternate XML PO validations must be checked at Accounting / Setup / Preferences on the Inventory Purchase tab.
