For clients who have both Solatech Fabrication
software and a Solatech Focus Site, status update files can be created
and uploaded in order to give accounts (dealers) automated status
updates. This article will describe the process of exporting, updating
and uploading status update files.
This procedure assumes you will be using a Solatech FTP server to upload the files and that this will be done via a web browser. In order to do this you will need to contact Solatech to obtain a user account. This account will be your email address. Once you have provided Solatech with the email address of the user who will be uploading the status update files you will receive an invitation to finish your account setup.
Note: These
instructions assume Microsoft Excel will be used to update your status
update file. Contact Solatech if you require help with updating your
file in another application.
Note: It is important to NOT change/modify any of these headings.
Use the following Status Codes when updating each data row
Code | Description | |
410 |
| |
420 | Item was approved. This indicates the PO was entered successfully into the vendors system. When this code is used, column H, Est. Ship Date, is required. Column I, Est. Delivery Date is optional. | |
430 | Item was rejected. This indicates the PO was not able to be entered into the vendors system, or it was entered but is on hold due to questions. The reason for the rejection and/or instructions to Solatech Focus should be included in the column G. | |
460 | Item has shipped. This indicates the line item has shipped. When this code is used, the following columns are required: column J, carrier; column K, tracking; and column L carrier ship date. | |
462 | Item delivery date has changed. This indicates the estimated ship date for a line has changed from what it was originally. The estimated ship and estimated delivery date columns should contain the new dates (columns H and I). |
Note: You may see files in this folder when you connect from time-to-time. These are probably status files that you or someone else already uploaded. They will be removed automatically when they are processed by Solatech Focus.
