The following example is used to demonstrate the import of invoices for the last month:

You would like to import a file into the eFactoring application with invoices for last month that you have exported from your ERP system. The invoices are saved in the import0001.DAT file, which is located on the C:\import drive.

Continue as follows:

Select the Purchased Invoice Import command from the Batches menu. The New Purchased Invoices – Import File overview appears.

Press the button. The Select File dialog appears. Here, in the upper Search Area item, find the Local Drive (C:) item. Once the name Local Drive (C:) appears in the Search Area item, select the Import folder in the middle part of the dialog and press the Open button in the lower part of the dialog. Then select the C:\import0001.DAT file and press the Open button again.

The Select File dialog closes and the path to the import0001.DAT file will be saved in the File for Import item (i.e. C:\import\import0001.DAT).

Now press the button. After pressing the button, the File Import – Confirmation dialog appears.

Press the button. A check is carried out to make sure that the imported file and the electronic key signature are correct. If the file format is correct, the file will be accepted for processing. You will be informed of the results of the import through the Imported File Detail dialog. If import of an invoice was successful, the Processed status appears next to it. If the invoice was not imported correctly, the Error status appears next to it.

The imported file structure is described in the section Appendix/Import of Purchased Invoices.
