Assigning the Identifier Attribute
To determine the type of record, assign the identifier attribute to the
ApplicationID component. The identifier attribute is assigned to a component of
a group in the group window in the Type Designer.
The identifier attribute identifies the components that can be used to identify the
type to which a data object belongs. All the components, from the first, up to and
including the component with the identifier attribute, are used for type
identification.
The record data is in the deliver.txt input file. When the record data is validated,
the identifier attribute identifies the type of record.
To assign the identifier attribute
1 Open the group window and place current focus on the component to which
you want to assign the identifier attribute.
2 From the Component menu, choose Identifier.
The identifier attribute
appears next to the component name.
Using the Type Designer, assign the identifier attribute ( ) to the
ApplicationID Field component in the following three group windows:
♦ Forecast Record Data
♦ PO Record Data
♦ Invoice Record Data
