Import STIF data

Using the XPS client, you can import tankage and projections through EDI in STIF format. By default, XPS saves STIF files in the Private Data folder.

Before importing STIF data, do the following, verify with your N4 administrator how your site imports EDI data.

If errors occur during an import, see Resolve EDI import errors (on page 1).

To import STIF data:

  1. Open a vessel.

If the required vessel is unavailable, consult your N4 administrator.

  1. From the File menu, select EDI.

  2. In the EDI window, from the Actions drop-down list, select STIF Import and click Begin.

  3. In the EDI Import Criteria dialog box, specify the data that you want to import by selecting the relevant check boxes; then click Import.

Depending on your XPS configuration, some check boxes may be unavailable.

  1. In the Open file dialog box, locate and select the EDI file that you want to import.

  2. Click Open.

The XPS client displays the import status in the EDI window.

If errors occur, see Resolve EDI import errors (on page 1).

  1. When the import is complete, close the EDI window.
