Often, we get similar enquiries from Business Partners as below
“For one of our clients, we have the requirement to import the sub-contract order (GESSCO) in the system. To confirm the import process, we followed the below steps to import the orders but are getting error. It would be great if you could please let us know what to be modified here to import the orders.”
Steps in SEED folder:
- Navigate to function GESSCO and select an existing subcontract order
2. In function Export (GEXPOBJ) exporting the above Subcontract order using standard export template PEO
3. Subcontract Order import file
Using the data of the export file
AUSUB1;AU012;SUB001;40;50;SCOAU0120001;;M;1;251225;281225;AU012;;3
Creating import file data by removing only the Subcontract order number keeping other field values intact
AUSUB1;AU012;SUB001;40;50;;;M;1;251225;281225;AU012;;3
4. In function Import (GIMPOBJ) attempting to import the above Subcontract file
Experiencing error
Solution:
The above error is due to the value of GIMP (1) global variable as detailed in our help file – Subcontract Order
To address the issue, replace M with C to import the records.
AUSUB1;AU012;SUB001;40;50;;;C;1;251225;281225;AU012;;3
Once we make the above changes in the import file we can import the subcontract record without issue.

Similar concept is applied for Work order import using standard template MFG
