RTS-Advantage Import Data Module

This module allows you to transfer master record information from other databases into Advantage. The source import file can have multiple record types. Because Import Data can only import from files with fixed length fields, a program is included that will massage delimited data, producing a file that the import program can process. Data can be imported into the customer master of Accounts Receivable; the item master of Inventory Control; the vendor master of Accounts Payable and the customer master of Customer Information.
