Nominal Extract/Amend/Import Template
This PostTrans function allows the user to easily extract, amend, and import Sage 200 Nominal data.
The cell A1 has a tag “Sage200nom” to designate the type of import. It uses a series of tags, placed in row 1, to identify the data to be processed.
These tags, listed in table below, can be easily added to a spreadsheet using the Tags button. See Training for an explanation of this.
Nominal Required fields
To Import/Extract/Amend Exchequer Enterprise Nominal Data, the following Tags/Fields must be specified:
Sage200nom, NoErrorDesc, NoCode, NoName
Cell A1 must equal Sage200nom
NoCode is used to detect end of spreadsheet. PostTrans will stop Importing/Amending, from row 4 on-wards, when this field is empty.
Restrictions
You can edit Nominal Records, such as the bedget figures, but not add new ones.
Tags for Nominal Records
The following PostTrans tags can be used to extract/import Nominal Records into Sage 200 .
