here comes from:

  • EDI inbound new files (using Vision EDI)

  • VCIS new products  (using Vision CIS web portal)

  • Excel Import screen following basic validation

Excel Import

This licensed feature allows you to take a simple excel, CSV file and load it into the system with very basic information in it, anything loaded through this will validate and put the record into the EDI Imports tab for final import and update.

EDI Imports

This screen is used to show a list of all Products for Customers that have been received via EDI Product Import files that are waiting to be imported into Vision Warehousing.

For ones that already exist in the system, they will have a tick in the first column.
