Arrow Financials – Data Transfer

The Data Transfer module enables data to be transferred between locations. For example where a national company has offices in every state they are able to send and receive information between the branches and the head office. Data Transfer can optionally integrate to the following modules: Cashbook, Debtors, Stock, Creditors, General Ledger, Sales Orders, Job Cost, Payroll and Bill of Materials.

Features

• The system can be set to transfer data for a selected data range, the current period or for all previous untransferred data.
• The Data Transfer module manages the integrity of the data. A detailed audit trail can be printed at the time of each upload and download showing all transactions which have been transferred
• Data can be sent between sites electronically (i.e.: over telephone lines via a modem) or on physical media such as tape or diskette.
• Data Transfer will handle any number of locations. Each site is identified by a unique three character text identifier that distinguishes one site from another.
• Data can be transferred for selected or all modules with the option to transfer master files, transaction or both.
• The module allows the user to determine the frequency of data transmission e.g.: information may be sent daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, etc.

Benefit

Information can be transferred between locations, e.g.: customer orders and debtor receipts may be transferred from a remote location to the head office on a daily basis. Data Transfer can negate the need for remote locations to be on-line via a dedicated telephone line, thus providing a very cost-effective alternative.
