Chapter 24: Generating the OCC Item Interface File (GOCI)

Overview: The OCC Item Interface file passes inventory, pricing, and offer information to an outside call center.

The OCC Item Interface file can be produced in two ways:

• select F9 at the Generate OCC Item Interface File menu option.

• run the Generate Outside Call Center Item Interface File periodic function. In order to set up this periodic function, use the program name PFR0055. See Work with Periodic Functions Screen.

When you generate the OCC Item Interface file, the system:

• creates an active procedure so that another user cannot submit the OCC Item Interface batch program while the program is already running. An error message similar to the following displays if you try to generate the OCC Item Interface file while the batch program is currently running:

OCC Item Interface file is currently running.

• clears any records that currently exist in the OCC Item Interface file.

• selects all items and SKUs for the company from which you submitted the OCC Item Interface batch program to populate the OCC Item Interface file.

• deletes the active procedure once the OCC Item Interface file has been populated.
