Definition

Choice of upload methods.

Use

An upload method defines all information needed to upload, interpret and write data into Consolidation as described in the following:

  • Which data is entered in a dialog box and which is read from the file.
  • Which fields are found in the file's header and, thus, apply to all of the succeeding data records.
  • Which fields make up each of the identically structured data records.
  • Whether each field has a fixed length or whether each field is recognizable by a field separator (such as a semi-colon ';' or a tab character).
  • Which characters are used to indicate thousands in currency and decimal places.
  • Which character indicates comments, that is, leads the data records that should not be interpreted.
  • Whether to use the debit/credit sign in the item master records.
  • Whether the reported values are cumulative or periodic.
  • Whether missing breakdowns are to be substituted with default values, or whether an error message should be output.
  • How to treat data that already exists in the totals database.
