FDS - Create Download Staging

This process looks for all field orders that are marked for extraction (a field order gets marked for extraction when it is first created if its dispatch group is dispatchable). For each record found, the system creates a field order download staging record.

Each download staging record is marked with a batch control ID & run number when it's created.

• The batch control ID comes from the field order's dispatch group. This ID corresponds with a specific extraction method. The system comes with a single field order download program ( FODL - Create Download Flat File). If you require different print formats or different routing methods, you will need to create additional programs. Refer to Technical Implementation of Batch Field Order Production for more information.
• The run number is the batch control ID's current run number.
