Export File Layout

When the routing interface downloads order data, the system places a file called ROUT~branch#.RNC in the Eclipse system's msg-out shared folder. The file contains the information listed in the following table for each invoiced sales order generation that is selected.

RouteView might automatically detect files with .RNC extensions in the msg-out folder, or a user might have to manually move the file into the routing software.

If a file with the same name already exists in the msg-out folder, the system overwrites the existing file.

Note: Shipping address changes made on the sales order Header are not communicated in the interface. The system always downloads customer address information from the entity record.
