in the Alt File Location field to select the alternate file location to which you want to save the file. If you choose the second option, leave the Alt File Location field blank when you export the file.This toolkit automatically creates/updates a Costpoint file named "CPFABC.INI," which you can download directly into the Intermec scanner using the Intermec FileCopy Utility.
The length of your asset number and any defined location code labels are read from Costpoint data and automatically display on this screen. This data, along with your choice of whether to scan by Asset No or Tag No, is saved in the CPFABC.INI file and downloaded to the scanner using Intermec's FileCopy Utility. The CPFABC.INI file supplies the base information from which the scan is performed.
Under normal circumstances, you will use this screen one time only at initialization to create the initial CPFABC.INI file. You will not need to re-create the CPFABC.INI file again unless you make edits to the Location 1, 2, or 3 code labels and/or functionality in Costpoint Fixed Assets or you want to change the Scan By selection parameter (Asset No or Tag No) or the default file location.
You can save settings from this screen to create a new CPFABC.INI file for download into the scanner at any time. Under normal circumstances, however, you will need to use this screen only once at initialization to create the initial CPFABC.INI file.
If you have made edits to the Location 1, 2, or 3 labels and/or functionality in Costpoint Fixed Assets or you want to change the Scan By selection parameter (Asset No or Tag No), you can modify the settings on this screen. When you save your edits, a new CPFABC.INI file will be created.
in the Alt File Location field to select the alternate file location to which you want to save the file. If you choose the second option, leave the Alt File Location field blank when you export the file.In this group box, you can choose whether to scan by asset number or by tag number.
Select this option to scan by asset number. It is assumed that you have asset numbers printed on your bar code labels or that you will manually enter asset numbers into the scanner.
The system will automatically assign item number 00001 to each asset number during the scan, so you do no need to print the associated item number on the bar code label or manually enter the item number. If you have item numbers different than 00001, you may have already printed them on the bar code label or you can manually enter the correct item number directly in the scanner.
Select this option to scan by tag number. It is assumed that you have tag numbers printed on your bar code labels or that you will manually enter tag numbers into the scanner.
Even though you can scan by tag number, the system must still associate the tag number with, and validate against, the related asset and item number when you import the scanned data from the Asset Location Preprocessor screen.
This field is not available in this Costpoint release.
This non-editable field displays the asset number length that was set up during initialization on the Configure Fixed Assets Settings screen for your Asset Master records.
Once you have entered and saved your first Asset Master record, you cannot change the asset number length on the Configure Fixed Assets Settings screen.
The Intermec scanner uses this data to prevent the scan or entry of an asset number with more characters than the designated asset number length.
If you use the optional location code functionality, these fields display the location labels that you defined on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
This field displays the label for Location 1 Codes that you defined on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
You can use location code functionality with or without defining labels for these fields. If you did not define a label for Location 1 Codes, the system-defaul automatically displays in this field.
If you need to add or edit the label for this field, you must do so on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
This field displays the label for Location 2 Codes that you defined on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
You can use location code functionality with or without defining labels for these fields. If you did not define a label for Location 2 Codes, the system-default automatically displays in this field.
If you need to add or edit the label for this field, you must do so on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
This field displays the label for Location 3 Codes that you defined on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
You can use location code functionality with or without defining labels for these fields. If you did not define a label for Location 3 Codes, the system-default automatically displays in this field.
If you need to add or edit the label for this field, you must do so on the Manage Asset Master Field Labels screen.
Enter the name of the file that contains the base information for the scanner. The default file name is CPFABC.INI which you can edit.
Enter the location of the file you are exporting. There are two ways to do this:
In the Alt File Location field, enter, or click to select, the alternate file location where you want to store the export file. Alternate file locations are set up on the Manage Alternate File Locations screen. Enter the name of the file to be processed in the File Name field.
or
Leave the Alt File Location field blank and enter the name of the file you are exporting in the File Name field. When you execute this application, the export file is saved to the Costpoint database. Use the Export Files application to retrieve it and save it to a location on the network.
Select this check box if you want to overwrite a file with the same file name entered on the File Name field.
Click the Save button to store edits made on the screen and to enter the required computer destination directory information to which the CPFABC.INI file created will be saved.
(Before the scanner can use the data from this screen, you must download the CPFABC.INI file to the Intermec scanner using Intermec's FileCopy Utility.)
When the Save function is complete, the system displays a message that the data was saved without errors.
