Execute Customer Recode/Merge (RM85)

The Execute Customer Recode/Merge (RM85) program recodes/merges Customers previously entered in Enter Customers for Recode/Merge (RM84). Once started, this program must run to completion.

Caution: This program should be run ALONE. Files throughout the system are affected.

Using RM85:

1. The Test option allows you to start the execution of the program but will not update any files.

   Note: Various files are checked to ensure that any programs that involve Customer information are completed. A message displays, indicating the program and/or warehouse, for any program that must be completed prior to running the ‘Test’ mode. As Customer records are found, a Verification Selection screen automatically opens:

   
   ^{Verification Selection from RM85}
   
   • Select option 1 (Continue verifying this file) to continue verifying each Customer recode/merge transaction as it comes up and click OK.
     OR
     
   • Select option 2 (Continue verifying this file without stopping at this question) to continue verifying the file without stopping at the Verification Selection screen and click OK.
     OR
     
   • Select option 3 (Start verifying the next file) to verify the next file for the Customer recode/merge transaction and click OK.

2. The Start option allows you to start the Customer recode/merge update. The update should run when no other processes are running. The re-coding and merging of customer information affects most of the applications in the computer system. As the RM85 runs a progress bar displays to indicate which file are updating.

   Note: Various files are checked to ensure that any programs that involve Customer information are completed. A message displays, indicating the program and/or warehouse, for any program that must be completed prior to running the ‘Start’ mode.

   Important: Running RM85 while other functions are running could cause unpredictable damage to data. This damage might not be recoverable.

3. To close RM85 when the process is complete, press Escape.
