Template Structure for Static Data

The template must have tag ‘Sage50supp’ in cell A1 to instruct PostTrans that we are interested in Sage 50 Suppliers, and that the sheet is a PostTrans Template.  Pressing Import or Extract on a blank sheet will either open an existing example or create basic template for you to customise.

Row 1 contains a series of tags, which denote to PostTrans the data to be read/written in each column. These tags, and data columns can be rearranged to suit your needs, and the tags are added using the Tags button. See on-line Training   Deleting the Tag name, in the cell, from this row removes the Sage 50 mapping.   Table of Suppliers Tags

Hovering over these tags, in row 1, will show a comment which explains the tags purpose, data type and any other useful details.

Common Features

In-Cell Searching

Any Tag ending with ^ with have a in-cell search facility to look up associated values.  Use SPACE + TAB to see all values, or SPACE and TEXT to perform a text search on description. These are returned to the cell as "CODE, DESCRIPTION".  PostTrans only uses the CODE and ignores the comma and anything after it, thus data from a field would only need the CODE part of the data if from an external imported file.  

In-cell Searching can be turned off by removing the ^ from the end of the tag name, or name in first line of comment (Header cells) to disable in-cell searching for a single column, or header cell.  All in-cell searching can be turned off in SetupIn-cell searching.

Extracting the Data

The data extracted using the Extract button can be filtered, by entering criteria in row 2. Hover over cell A2 for instructions. Extracting Data

Amending Suppliers Data

Having extracted data, the user can now simply edit the Suppliers in Microsoft Excel, before re-importing it back into Sage 50. 

PostTrans uses the tagged column SuCRC to detect changes in rows.  Therefore, only records/rows which have changed since extraction are updated.  If you add or delete a tagged column, PostTrans will treat ALL rows as having changed, and thus ALL records will be updated on next Import.

Importing the Data

Simply press the Import button to validate and import the data into Sage 50.  PostTrans will read the Header cells and then process the rows of data until SuCode column contains no data. The Sage Company imported into can be set in the Setup window.

PostTrans ONLY edits those fields listed on the sheet when importing, thus any existing values, on a record, are unaffected.   New records may have default values for certain fields.

File Import Button

This can be enabled in Setup to easily import cvs, or fixed length files, into sheet for importation.   Formula can also be added, or macros/VBA to manipulate this data before importation.   Import from CSV file.

Validation

Any values and associated codes will be invalid during import.   The cursor will be moved to highlight any problems in data.

Evaluation and License

This functionality will work with Sage Demo data without a license. A license is required to import into any other Sage Company.  Pricing

Not all these tags/columns are needed. The table below lists the required and recommended:

Description

Important Fields:

Sage50supp

Text Req

Returns `POSTED` if Trans line has been posted and will be ignored if `POSTED` (required). Also reports errors/warnings in data row

SuCRC

Text Req

Contains CRC number to help PostTrans detect changes in current row.

SuDelete

Text 1

This cell is very important, as it allows PostTrans to let you know of any errors or warnings while importing. If data is extracted out of the system, then it will contain a number. This number is calculated so PostTrans can work out if you have changed any of the data in the row, and thus only update changes on next import.
