Importing and Exporting Data
With the Import Export Utility, you are able to import inventory, item,

able to import picking and receiving order data from a host system into
WMS. The Import Export Utility also supports exporting inventory, item,
location, picking order, and receiving order data from WMS into a text file
or fixed width file. To import or export data, you must select the “inter-
face” type in the utility. The data interface types available in the utility are
