Import jobs

An import job is one processed document. Its card shows everything the module read out of it, from raw pages to finished lines.

Tabs

• General — the document’s and the supplier’s data.
• Structs — which structs matched.
• Pages — the document’s pages.
• Rows — the rows read out of the tables.
• Data — recognised lines with their product matches.
• Jobs — the processing runs.
• Logs — the record of the work → Import logs.
• Comparison — a comparison against another upload → Comparing uploads.

Recognising products

A line can be matched unambiguously (by product number, manufacturer number or EAN) or ambiguously (by name). The latter requires confirmation by an operator, because a name is not an identifier.

Unmatched lines are shown outright, so it is immediately clear what is missing from the catalogue or which supplier identifier has not been described yet. → Mappings

Using the result

Recognised lines can be turned into warehouse work: a purchase order or a goods receipt. An order created from an import is created as confirmed straight away, because the supplier’s document is evidence that the order exists. → Purchase order lifecycle

Background work

Document analysis runs in the background and its progress shows on the list. For larger files the window can be closed and reopened later. → Background jobs
