AM97.1 - Item Interface Adjustment
**Form purpose
Use Item Interface Adjustment (AM97.1) to review and edit the asset item
records imported into the Asset Item Interface file (AMASTITCNV) for interface
into the Asset Management application.
**Prerequisites
You must create a non-Lawson asset transaction file and import it into
AMASTITCNV before you can view the interface transaction records on this form.
**Process at a glance
1. Format each non-Lawson file you want to convert as a comma-separated-value
(CSV) file. The fields in each file must match the fields in the Lawson
database file into which it will be imported. At a minimum, you must create
the three following files that must always be processed at the same time:
- An asset file matching the fields in AMASSETCNV,
- An asset item filed matching the fields in AMASTITCNV, and
- An asset book file matching the fields in AMASTBKCNV.
Optionally, you can create the two following files that can be both
processed concurrently with the three others, or each processed separately at
a later time.
- An asset transaction file matching the fields in AMASTTRCNV
- An attribute matrix file matching the fields in AMASTMXCNV
The file layouts for the Lawson interface files are available on the Web.
See your Lawson representative for more information.
2. Transfer each non-Lawson file to the target machine, using a transfer
utility program (such as the winptxfr or ftp command). When you transfer the
non-Lawson file, you may need to rename the file for use in the Lawson system.
For example, if you are transferring an asset item file named Asset Item.csv
from your PC, you could use the following command:
winptxfr -u asset-item c:\\Data\\Asset Item.csv
where asset-item is the name you assign to the file in the Lawson
environment.
3. Load each transferred file into the appropriate Lawson interface file,
using an Import command. For example, to load the prevasset file from the
previous example, use this command:
importdb productline AMASSETCNV asset-item
where productline is the Lawson product line where your Asset Management
data is stored.
4. (This step) Display and edit as needed the data for each Lawson interface
file as follows:
- To display AMASSETCNV data, use Asset Interface Adjustment (AM96.1).
- (This form) To display AMASTITCNV data, Item Interface Adjustment (AM97.1).
- To display AMASTBKCNV data, Asset Book Interface Adjustment (AM98.1).
- To display AMASTTRCNV data, Transaction Interface Adjustment (AM93,1).
- To display AMASTMXCNV data, Attribute Interface Adjustment (AM94.1).
5. Run Asset Management Interface (AM500) to load the asset information into
the Asset Management application. Once asset records are interfaced
successfully, they are deleted from the Lawson interface file and exist as
unreleased records in the Asset Management application.
**Decision/impact
If you use a company that has two or more required books, you will have to add
two or more books (AMASTBKCNV file) for each asset that should be added.
**More help
Once you successfully interface transaction records from the Asset Item
Interface file (AMASTITCNV) using Asset Management Interface (AM500), you can
no longer view or edit them on this form. However, you can view them on Asset
Management drill-around and analysis forms.
