in the File Location field to select an alternate file location. If you choose the second option, leave the File Location field blank and use the File Upload Manager to upload the input file to the Costpoint database.Use this screen to import IWO allocations. Once the IWO transactions have been exported from the sending database and exist as .csv files, you must import them into the receiving database. The data exported now exists, not in Costpoint-owned tables, but in tables owned by the receiving location. For example, if the receiving database location code is PARIS, the exported tables are PARIS_H.csv (Header), PARIS_T.csv (Transaction), and PARIS_L.csv (Labor). Use the Import IWO Allocations screen to move the data to Costpoint-owned tables. The schema.ini file contains the table structure mapping for this process. After the import process is complete, the data resides in IWO_ALLOC_XXX_SUSP (suspense) tables.
After you are satisfied with the export of your IWO tables, use this screen to import them to the receiving database. This screen is step eight. If the IWO transfer is within the same database, this screen is not necessary.

If you choose the second option, leave the File Location field blank and use the File Upload Manager to upload the input file to the Costpoint database.Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click 
to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
