BOM Mass Import

Posted on by 145

Hello Everyone, I'd just like to ask if there's an easy way to import/create build of materials (cards) for around 3000 items. I've tried doing this through macro but it seems that the scroll grid cannot be done through macro. This doesn't seem to be available through intergration manager too. Is there a script for this I can use? Thanks!

    Sure. Could you send an e-mail to info@gpelementz.com - with just the registered name of the system and number of users - and we will send the utility with registration keys and instructions, by e-mail return.

    Hi Mahmoud,

    Thanks for the tips! I prefer using the table import as it seems to be working well (and fast). Ive already uploaded some bom items and my only problem left is the note index. I checked the note index of the bom tables and its all set to 0.00. Tried the script youve sent me but it increments to 1 whenever i run it. What table that has note index does the script update? How should i use it? Should i just run it to get the latest note index to use it as a reference and just manually update it through the backend? (Ex. Note index 1,2,3,4,5 and so on).

    Thanks!

    sp_getNextnote is a stored procedure which you call to retrieve the next note index. Please refer to the post below;

    Get the next note index

    Just for reference, as for the Macro method, the scroll grid can be done. You need to take into consideration the "Lines" issue, Window grid is limited to a certain number of lines. Let's consider the inventory transaction window as an example, The macro should go as follows;

    After Line Item (0)

    • MoveTo line 1 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    After Line Item (1)

    • MoveTo line 2 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    After Line Item (2)

    • MoveTo line 3 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    After Line Item (3)

    • MoveTo line 4 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    After Line Item (4)

    • MoveTo line 5 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    After Line Item (5)

    • MoveTo line 5 scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll' field 'TRX Location'
    • TransLinePrepare scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'
    • ScrollByLine down scrollwin 'IV_Transaction_Scroll'

    Please consider that any line after five will still have the serial (5), with the Scroll command.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated in order to dig for further details if required.

    We have a GP Utility for this - written in Dexterity. What version of GP is it for?

    I was able to read this post and it seems to be working:

    community.dynamics.com/.../import-inventory-bom.aspx

    However, I cannot find the sp_getNextnote stored procedure. Does this exist? Also, what parameters should I pass on?

    Thanks!
