Assumptions/Tips

  • This is an upload that can be used from the buyer side only.

  • This upload allows a list of work locations for the buyer company to be added or updated from SAP Fieldglass. It supports the following:

    • Adding a new work location.

    • Updating an existing work location.

    • Deleting (Close) an existing work location.

  • The utility validates the work location code, name, site, and other fields in the same way as application side while uploading. Such as:

    • When adding a new work location or updating an existing work location, all the required fields must be filled in with content.

    • When updating an existing work location, check if the site is allowed to be updated. Make sure the site code is a valid site in the system.

    • Before deleting (close) an existing work location, check if it is allowed to be closed.
