The Cadac Organice Vault Item Export feature enables an automated export of an item and its Bill of Materials. The export of an item creates a file in a configurable export folder. This file can be used as input for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
The ERP Export is a task that will be executed by the job processor on a predefined life cycle state transition of a document life cycle. This job is called 'Organice.Vault.FileItem.CreateItemAndExport' and should be configured as described in the Life Cycle Events.
In the 'Item Export' options the output format and folder of the file can be configured.
Select the desired file type for the export file. Default the XML file format is selected because this works for almost all ERP systems.
Define the output folder for the export file with the 'Browse' button. This should be a location that is also accessible for the ERP system or the tool that imports the item export file into the ERP system.
By clicking on the 'Next' button, the item properties that should be published to the export file can be selected. In the left window all available item properties are listed. To add a property to the item export file select it in the left window and drag & drop it to the right window.
The example below shows the properties in an export file in XML format.
The name or caption of the property that will be shown in the export file can be manually edited in the name column.
