Background
Weekly we receive an email (to johnt@unipharm.com and geraldp@unipharm.com) from Purolator (ediff@purolator.com) that contains a zip file that when opened is a csv file of weekly invoice details. Below are the steps required to manually upload this data into Infonet for use in the "Freight to Sales Analysis" query.
- Files are automatically saved on superserver in distribution centre\Richmond\geraldp\freight GP\Purolator\raw invoices (note: this is done by a process developed by IS department)
- Files are going to uploaded on a monthly basis (typically in the first week of each month - for the previous month)
- Go to superserver\distribution centre\Richmond\geraldp\freight GP\Purolator\raw invoices
- Open first weekly file - Note: need to make sure that customer ref1 field (column CU) is not blank (this is store number field), if blank, manually edit them.
- Open second weekly file and copy / paste the details (from columns A to GC) into first file (as above, check column CU)
- Repeat for the third and fourth weekly files (as above, check column CU)
- Save the finished file as "YYYYMMconsolidated.csv" file
- Run macro (View tab - Macros - View Macros) "Purolator_Invoice_To_Template" - note: This will align various columns to fit our import template and will total surcharges and remove blank records. Run.
- Go to (and open) superserver\distribution centre\Richmond\geraldp\freight GP\skid lot tracking\miscyyyymm (template.csv)
- Copy the details from "YYYYMMconsolidated.csv" into "miscyyyymm"
- Close the "YYYYMMconsolidated.csv" file but DO NOT SAVE.
- File save as "purYYYYMM.csv" in Purolator folder - example: pur201709.csv
- May need to manually add any credits (dollars only) received from Purolator into the pur201709.csv (example) file. Important to get store number and waybill reference information. Note: dollars should be entered as negatives.
- Ready to upload into Infonet - note: after uploading will need overnight processing to update information for viewing
- Move "purYYYYMM.csv" to "yyyy files" folder (eg. 2017 files)
- Move all (from Raw Invoices) completed and consolidated files into "Archived Folder"
