Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Reference Manual page 90

The table's first column covers standard, Insight, CompuCom, SHI, and KMD import files because
they use the same field names. The one exception is that KMD uses PO_NUMBER rather than PO#.
The table's second column covers the Softchoice import file.
Fields 1–13 identify the purchase record. Fields 14–30 identify a product's line item (or detail)
included in the purchase record. For two products to be included in the same purchase record, the
information in fields 1–13 must match.
When working with an import file, the following rules apply:
Use only the fields intended for that import file. For example, when editing a Softchoice import
file, include only the fields listed in the Softchoice Fields column. Any invalid fields cause the
import to fail.
The following fields are required: (PO# | PO_NUMBER | PURCHASEORDER), (OrderDate |
ORDERDATE), (ProductName | ITEMDESC), and (PurchaseQty | QTYORD). Removing
these fields causes the import to fail.
The LicensesPerPackage field is also required; however, if it is missing the importer assigns a
default value of 1.
All non-required fields can be removed if desired. When doing so, remove both the field
column header and the field text in each subsequent row.

Either this field or the OrderDate field must be

data, the record is not imported.
The ZENworks purchase record object (created
during import) uses the PO number for its name.
If you don't supply a PO number, the name of the
purchase record object defaults to
(MM_DD_YY)
date in the appropriate locale format.
The maximum field length is 32 characters.
