Now that the Wizard has been installed and configured this document will guide you through the following simple exercises:
 
1.    Create a new Worksheet
2.    Enter Miscellaneous Receipts
3.    Upload Miscellaneous Receipts
4.    Download Transactions and use these to create new Transactions
5.    Upload new Transactions to Oracle
 
Note - The screenshots are using Oracle Release 12 and Excel 2013.
 
This script is designed to illustrate the downloading/creating/uploading of Material Transactions to give the user a “feel” for the Wizard. 
The Wizard is designed to use a similar process for processing large numbers of Material Transactions, which will significantly reduce data-entry time and improve productivity.

(You can navigate to the form by double clicking in the ‘Item Lot’ or ‘Item Serial’ section or double-clicking the ‘Forms’ icon and selecting ‘Material Transaction Item Lot’ or ‘Material Transaction Item Serial’ from the ribbon – see example below).

Ensure the ‘Process Option’ on the ribbon is set to ‘Process Online’.  Place your cursor on any row of the Miscellaneous receipt.
 
Select the ‘Validate Only’ option from the Material Transaction Wizard ribbon.

Your transactions will show an ‘Upload Result’ of Validated.
 
In the example shown to the right all 3 rows validated for the transaction.
 
 
 
 
 
If you encounter any errors (as per the example to the right) read the Upload Message column and refer to the Error Handling and Validation section of this document.
Once the data has been corrected (if there were any errors), revalidate the transaction by placing your cursor on any row with the transaction and completing steps 3.1 and 3.2. 
You can do this as many times as appropriate until all lines have a Validated upload result.

Once you have resolved any issues and revalidated, place your cursor on the row(s) which require processing.

When the Upload Result is Pending, click the ‘Refresh Interface Status’ button on the ribbon to refresh the status. 
 
This will show the final interface status.
 
3.9
Your transaction will show an ‘Upload Result’ of Accepted.
 
In the successful example shown to the right the Upload Result is Accepted.  This indicates that all transaction lines have been uploaded including the Header, Lot and Serial information.
 
 
In the unsuccessful upload, one of the lines had an Error.  This line has not been uploaded to Oracle and will need to be corrected and re-uploaded.  The other lines have been uploaded to Oracle.
 
If you encounter any errors read the Upload Message column and refer to the Error Handling and Validation section of this document.
