The EPU Control File Maintenance program defines consistent rules for creating and reading FACTS item numbers from the data sent by the pricing service(s) or vendor and other global EPU parameters.
EPU Control F/M can also be used to preserve existing FACTS data that may otherwise be changed by the updates. These controls are not specific to pricing service or vendor data.
The control record determines item number definition, an item number separator, an alpha sort definition, and whether to allow changes to the alpha sort key, class, item description, vendor-item and price class fields. It also determines which pricing UM fields to update and whether to keep or delete imported suggested cost/price information.
Access this program by clicking Inventory Control>Electronic Price Updates>EPU Control F/M.
