If you are able to post, a message displays asking if you would like to create a system backup.
It is highly recommended that the user export a copy of the affected tables prior to completing the posting process.
Click Yes to export a copy of the affected tables. Click No to not create the backup and continue with the interface.
If the user clicks Yes, then the export Finance and Payroll tables dialog box is displayed.
If the user chose a file ID for the Finance interface that is not file ID C (e.g., 4 or 5), it is the user's responsibility to back up the chosen file ID separately through the Finance system before performing the interface. The backup generated from this tab will only back up Finance file ID C.
In the Function Type fields, the Export option is preset and cannot be changed.
In the Export Path field, perform one of the following functions:
Type the drive and folder name of where to export a copy of the tables. The system creates the export files (e.g., db001007_FH_6_03192002_01(s).rsf for payroll and db001007_FH_08192004_fin.rsf for finance).
Click Browse, then select the folder into which to export a copy of the tables.
Click OK to select the folder or Cancel to close the dialog box without processing.
Click Execute. A message displays asking you to verify the path of the export.
Click Yes to accept the export path or No to not accept the export path, and return to the Post to Master/Interface to Finance tab.
Click Cancel to close the dialog box without exporting tables.
In the archive password dialog box, type a password, and then click OK.
The tables are exported, and a message displays indicating that the export process completed successfully. Click OK.
If no errors were encountered during the posting process, a message displays indicating that the affected tables were successfully posted. Click OK.
Click Save.
