Understanding the Shared Information XML File for CNAO
The CNAO Shared Information XML file includes the metadata that describes the data in other CNAO output files. For example, the CNAO AR/AP XML file includes the address book number of customers and suppliers, but does not include the names of the customers and suppliers. You use these programs to set up the data to include in the CNAO Shared Information XML file:
Electronic Accounting Book program (P75C002).
Company Names & Numbers program (P0010).
The system uses the accounting year and period as set up in this program.
Fiscal Date Patterns program (P0008).
The report uses the start and end dates as set up in this program.
Organization Structure Inquiry/Revisions program (P0050).
The report uses the parent/child relationships as set up in this program.
Setup Payroll Category program (P75C504).
You must set up payroll category codes before you can set up employee record information.
Address Book Additional Information program (P75C012).
Employee Record Information program (P75C008).
Address book records for employees must exist in the Address Book Master table (F0101) before you can add the China-specific information in the Employee Record Information program.
Dynamic XML Element Names program (P75C013).
You use this program to set up names for the sections headings and the section fields of the shared information XML file.
