Type tag is used to detect end of spreadsheet.  PostTrans will stop Importing/Amending, from row 3 onwards, when this field is empty.

Restrictions

Important : At present PostTrans cannot delete entries with effective dates correctly, it will:

• For Account matrix : delete all entries with the same "AccountCode" 
• For Stock matrix : delete all entries with the same "StockCode" 

Deletion does not work for the MS SQL Version of PostTrans

Account/Qty breakes

Account/Qty breakes have various restrictions due to the functionality of the COM Toolkit:

• Account/Qty breakes cannot be deleted (Toolkit does not provide this functionality)
• Account/Qty breakes cannot be updated (Bug ABSEXCH-14208 and ABSEXCH-14207) May be fixed in future version of
• Effective data are not supported

In summary, PostTrans cannot be used to update Account/Qty breakes so as a work around:

1. Export current customer discounts using Post Trans
2. Amend export to be what you really want
3. Copy blank discounts customer (to delete all existing discounts on the customer I want to change)
4. Use PostTrans to import discounts back onto the customer

Special Notes on Importing Exchequer Customer Qty Breaks:

---

Customer Qty breaks can easily be imported using PostTrans.  

For example:

EffectiveDateStart, EffectiveDateEnd can also be used, but not shown in above example.

IMPORTANT: 

The lines MUST BE grouped by CustCode and StockCode before importing. Or in other words the sheet should be ordered by CustCode, then StockCode.

The QtyFrom must be more than 0, even though Enterprise will except 0

If you change the QtyTo or QtyFrom breaks figures, then you need to delete the entire Qty break first to remove old entries.  Then re import data.

The effective dates columns should be formatted as TEXT, as with all other date cells when using PostTrans.  This is because on certain conditions Excel will use American date format if the date entered is before the 13th, and English on and after the 13th.  Enter date as dd/mm/yy.
