Sales orders are taken and entered into the retail (dealer) computer.
Data in the sales order must be in text format in order to be processed by the XMLT translation utility.
Your ERP system or other external (to CIMPLICITY) scheduling system is responsible for:
Creating the sales orders text
files
Sales order entries in a text file format are FTP'd to the XMLT server.
Moving files to a configured
RAW_DUMP folder on the XMLT server
Calling the XMLT translation
utility.
Note: More information on calling XMLT is available in the CIMPLICITY XML Translator help . Also, an XMLT User Interface is provided for testing your translation files.
Creating custom XML translation
files configured specifically for your text-based files (sales
orders, parts lists, etc.)
Note: XMLT supports a
wide variety of text file formats by virtue of its flexible XML
schema definition, specified by the file XMLT.xsd in the POMS\XMLT
folder under BSM_Root. This schema
defines custom XML tags (Entity Types) that XMLT uses to
restructure data parsed from your text-based order files into a
format suitable as input to POMS.
