Uploading Trakker Files Into The FIS


What You'll Need:
-- an inventory file to upload with the file name BCIN.CSV in the C:\ROBOTICS directory
-- a Windows workstation running the FIS/TP client software
-- authorization from the Bloomington Capital Assets Office to access Barcode forms in the FIS (please contact Theresa Cain, 855-9419)

You've successfully completed an inventory, and have downloaded the Trakker's contents to a local hard drive into the C:\ROBOTICS directory. You are now ready to upload the Trakker's output file into the FIS, and view the results. Here's how to upload the Trakker's Inventory file into the FIS, and how you can manage the subsequent correction document that will appear in your In Box.

  1. Launch the FIS as you normally would. From the FIS/TP Welcome screen choose "Enter TP Documents"

  2. From the Document Group Selection screen, choose Capital Asset Maintenance and from the list of document types, select Barcode Inventory.

  3. When prompted by the Barcode Inventory Upload Screen, click Begin. The FIS will check the contents of your C:\ROBOTICS directory for a file called BCIN.CSV. If the file is not there, you will receive an error message indicating that the input file is not available.

  4. A Barcode Inventory Uploading dialog box will appear while the data is being grabbed from the BCIN.CSV file and is read by the FIS. Once complete, another dialog box should appear to indicate the number of records that were successfully uploaded into the FIS, and the number of records that were written to an error file. Click OK to close the Upload Inventory Results screen.

  5. Your inventory has now been successfully uploaded. The entries that failed referential integrity checks against the FIS databases will be collected into a single In Box document, where you can edit and correct information from the inventory.
