Updating Addresses
Addresses need to be updated every week. If an Address change has been notified to Dempsey, Customer Service is supposed to mark it on the Header of the next Order that will ship to the Customer. If this is not done, the Warehouse will not know to ship to the new location.
Prepare the file for CanPar from HiPoint
- In HiPoint select CM and go to Barbara's account 6698359
- Change the second line of the address to today's date, in the format 13-Jun-2014
- Select HiPOint > Export > Shipping Addresses
- Make sure 'Web' is selected at the bottom
- Select Go to create C:\tdsfiles\customer.csv
- Copy the file from C:\tdsfiles to G:\Canpar and Canada Post\Canpar and rename as customer_yymmdd.csv
In the CanPar application:
- Log in, lower right
- Select CanShip
- Select My Address tab (top of page)
- Select Import (top right)
- Navigate to the file you renamed in G:\Canpar and Canada Post\Canpar
- Make sure you Overwrite Records
- May have to specify "generic layout" - or not (PBMH had problems 30-Oct-2018)
After import, go the Barbara account 6698359 and make sure today's date is showing. If it is not, something went wrong with the import.
