MIL-Comply supports import of data in numerous contexts, from a list of UIDs for a shipment line item to importing entire shipments. The article on Integrating Business Systems provides an overview of data import and export opportunities.
MIL-Comply can be driven by external business system data using either of two import files:
•CSV - a simple multi-dimension Excel format, described below for importing UIDs. Contact Technical Support for information on using CSV to import complete shipments.
•M12 - an easy to produce plain-text file, described by the M12 File Specification .
•MCA - an internal format for transferring shipments between MIL-Comply modules
The End Items for Shipment dialog found in Shipper and Labeling supports import of UID end items with limited numbers and depth of embedded items (IAW WAWF EDI specifications).
•Pasting UIDs into the Simple UID Import, described in Adding Composite UIIs
•UID CSV import file format
•Importing embedded UID items into Registry Expeditor for import into the IUID Registry uses the UID CSV import file format
There are two ways to import a list of UID items as packed.
Distribution of existing SNs and UIDs into containers for label printing can be specified in the SN/UID Packer feature, which can be used interactively or with a simple import file.
Packing of new UIDs into specific containers can accomplished with the RFID/UID Shipment Import file accepted by Scan-Print-Ship, which can RFID container labels while importing the UIDs into the MIL-Comply database, ready to include in a WAWF Receiving Report or Pack Update.
