Using Excel for a database/formula to alert me of sales restriction in Crystal

We have a lot of sales restrictions here from UDF Brands, Bill to Country Codes, UDF lithium, UDF MAP, certain UDF Brands in certain Countries and so on. I have most of them caught in a Crystral report but I'm not sure how to catch these. I have a lady that keeps a list of 50+ Brands that cant be sold or that are approved in certain countries. I would like to keep it in excel so she can keep it updated because it changes all the time. Is this possible? Any suggestions. I would use the Purchase Control Maintenance but we import orders from our website and it wouldn't catch those and it seems limited too.

  • You can import your Excel data into a custom table in Sage.  That should be easy enough.  You can clear and re-import into this custom table every time there is a change.  

    You could then join to this custom table in your crystal report.

    I have thought of that, but the problem I'm having is there is over 50 records of different type of restrictions. How do  I get it to check a sales order  record for all 50+ excel lines of restrictions?
