ProductVision
Data Transfer (DT) Module
The Data Transfer Module in ProductVision
allows you to quickly set up data-driven
"mappings" between outside applications, such as ERP and LIMMS
systems, and ProductVision. Once mapped, the information can
be transferred to/from ProductVision in standard file formats.
Information imported into ProductVision through the data ports is
validated using the same business rules applied when information is
entered through the program, thus ensuring complete data integrity.
Overview
The Data
Transfer options in ProductVision let you import and export several
different types of data between ProductVision and outside systems,
including resources, formulas, customer and vendor information, project
information, and order entry shipments. ProductVision’s data transfer
functions are user-definable. This allows you to tailor the data ports
to your own systems and needs.
Program
Allows Setup of an Unlimited Number of Transfer Formats
To facilitate
transfer of information to multiple systems, you can create as many
transfer mappings as necessary to perform all of your necessary
integrations. That is, you can create a formula export mapping to
your ERP system, another to you LIMMS system, and a third to export
information to Excel spreadsheets. This capability has proven
extremely valuable upon system startup when information from
different legacy systems is compiled for creation of ProductVision
resources and formulas.
Full
Security Control is Maintained
Since the Data
Transfer routines utilize the same “business logic” used when items are
added normally, all security access rights and protections apply. This
ensures that only authorized personnel have access to create, edit, or
export system information. It also means that any additions or changes
to information in the system are fully recorded in the audit file.
