Hands-On Exercises
Exercise 1: Dump and Load XML Files
1 Use the Exchange Rate activities to define the following Accounting exchange rates:
10USACO
1 USD = 0.625 GBP as of 4/1/2013
22UKCO
1 GBP = 1.23 EUR as of 7/1/2013
2 Open XML Daemon Monitor (36.14.16.6.3), and verify that the daemon is running.
Otherwise, use XML Daemon Unconditional Stop (36.14.16.6.6) to stop it, and XML Daemon Start (36.14.16.6.4) to start it.
3 Open Exchange Rate Modify (26.4.2).
a Select exchange rate USD-GBP (10USACO entity) or GBP-EUR (22UKCO entity).
b Right-click and select Dump XML.
c In the pop-up window, enter file name USDGBPFX1.xml (10USACO) or GBPEURFX1.xml (22UKCO).
d In the What to Dump field, select Only Dump Fields for Import.
e Click OK.
4 Using Windows Explorer, open the directory: Z:\qadapps\qea\fin\ and locate the file that you exported.
5 Right-click the file name and select Textpad.
6 Modify the file in the Textpad application:
In entity 10USACO:
a Find the ExchangeRateValidDateFrom field and change the date to 2013.04.01
a Find the ExchangeRateValidDateTill field and change the date to 2013.04.30.
b Find the ExchangeRate field and change the value to 0.625
In entity 22UKCO:
a Find the ExchangeRateValidDateFrom field and change the date to 2013.07.01
b Find the ExchangeRateValidDateTill field and change the date to 2013.07.31.
c Find the ExchangeRate field and change the value to 1.23
7 Save and close.
8 Open Windows Explorer and move the file to the xml_daemon directory (use the XML and Scan daemon shortcut on your desktop). The file will be picked up and processed by the XML daemon.
9 Go back to the QAD Application, and Exchange Rate Modify (26.4.2).
10 Verify that the new rates are in the system.
11 Go to XML Daemon Monitor (36.14.16.6.3).
Note in the grid at the bottom of XML Daemon Monitor that the file has been imported. The Daemon Request Status should state PROCESSED-OK.
Exercise 2: Scan Daemon
Tip Use Workflow Delete (36.24.7) to remove objects from your application inbox.
1 Copy the scanned supplier invoice 10USA-Supplier-Invoice.doc from QMI Documentation\Financials Activities\Daemons to the scan_daemon folder on the desktop. Place the invoice in the folder for the relevant entity.
Note: In EMEA, use invoice 22UK-Supplier-Invoice.doc.
2 Return to the QAD application.
3 Open your Inbox, located in the lower left of the UI (below Favorites and Quick Search).
4 Check for new mail.
5 Double-click the new message.
