Introduction to Exports in the Purchase Orders Module

The 'Exports' function allows you to export certain information from your HansaWorld Enterprise database to tab-delimited text files from where you can incorporate it in word processing programs for mailmerge, in spreadsheets for further statistical analysis or in page make-up programs for incorporation in publicity material or published reports. Alternatively, you can import the information into other HansaWorld Enterprise databases or Companies using the 'Automatic' and 'Automatic manual file search' import functions in the System module. Remember that reports can also be printed to disk, so most of the information that is stored in HansaWorld Enterprise is available to other applications via the medium of the text file.

To export information from HansaWorld Enterprise, you must log in as a Person whose Access Group explicitly grants full access to the Integration module. Change to the Integration module, then click the [Routines] button in the Master Control panel. In the subsequent window, click the [Exports] button. After changing to the Integration module, you can also use the Ctrl-E (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-E (Macintosh) keyboard shortcut.

The window illustrated below appears. This is a list of all the HansaWorld Enterprise Export functions, of which one is relevant to Purchase Orders module. Double-click the item in the list: a specification window will then appear, where you can decide the contents of the exported text file. Click [Run] and a 'Save File' dialogue box will appear, where you can name the file and determine where it is to be saved.
