Identify the mapping ofthe fields between the two ERP systems Go to Tools->Variable Manager. Create a variable called 'ield_order' of type List. Specify to read the values from a text file. Specify the path of the text file as c:\field_order.txt Specify the order of the fields to be pasted in the text file. Field order is the number of the corresponding field in the destination ERP application where the data is to be pasted. For example, the date from VAT Amount is to be copied to the VAT Amount field in the destination application in which it is the 6th field and hence its field order is in the source application. Hence, the 11th value in the list is 6 6. Moreover, itis the 11th field+10,16,17,5,6,13,14,18 3. Create new task © Click Tools -> Task Editor. 4, Copy contents of a field in the source ERP application © Select Insert Keystrokes command and specify the keystrokes CTRL + C and TAB. This will copy ‘the contents of the current field and move to the next field. 5. Transfer the sales records from one ERP system to another Insert an if $field_order$ Not Equal To "0" command to prevent field data in the source application which does not have a corresponding field in the destination application, from being pasted. i.e. Due Date in one example Insert if $field_order$ Equal To 2 command to insert a single TAB key before pasting the data of Invoice Date into the second feld ofthe destination application. Similarly, Insert as many if $field_order$ Equal To x commands as the number of fields to be transferred from the source application where x is the field order ie. the field number where ‘the copled data is to be pasted. Select the Insert Keystrokes command to insert number of TAB keystrokes in the destination ERP application window depending on the field order. For example if we want to paste the data of Payment Mode then the field order for the same will be 9 in the destination application and hence we have to press TAB key 8 times if the contents are to be pasted in the Sth field. Select Insert Keystrokes command after the endif of the 'f Sfield_order$ Not Equal To "0" command’ and specify the keystrokes as CTRL + V. This will copy the contents of the current field in the corresponding field of the destination ERP. Select the Insert Mouse Click command to dick on the first field of the destination ERP application to make it currently selected.
