Data Manipulation, Data Conversions

Company Description
Data Manipulation Processes (MAN) is a series of systems that facilitate the modifying of specific master information throughout the SYSPRO database addressing all associated transactions, both current and historical, based on a user-specified cross-reference.

Manipulation of SYSPRO data is a constant requirement. Specific SYSPRO master fields must be periodically restructured due to business growth or new strategies.  These procedures will update the associated master files along with any occurrence of that master field throughout the transaction and history tables.

Features

This conversion process is based on a user-defined cross-reference which may be imported from “comma-separated files” (CSV) created using tools such as Microsoft® Excel®. Where necessary, these conversion procedures will merge data where many-to-one relationships exist handling aspects such as recalculating costs when merging Stock Codes. Updating the master fields descriptions throughout SYSPRO is accommodated by this process.
