Work Order Interface: Table Driven Method

Use the Work Order Interface to load vendor records using data from external applications. Information you load using this interface adds to the data already stored in PENTA.

Data files you load must have Request Types assigned to the WO Interface Type.

Note that there is no pipe delimited interface method available; the table method is the only way to interface work order data.

Where to View Loaded Data

You can review interfaced data in the Work Orders window.
