Why do I need this?

One of the basic principles of Margin Master is to make things easier.  After getting a great suggestion at the Ace show in San Diego, I added the ability to display the Department and Class Names for the items in your selection lists when you mouse hovers over the item.  The Discover Set Name, Pricing Strategy Description, and other information is also displayed as you navigate the selections at the top of the screen.

To make this happen, we must import two additional reports from your Activant System into Margin Master.  These do not need to happen every time, but we recommend you simply add these reports to your Queue that executes all of the Margin Master reports.  If you do not have a queue set up, see the separate document in the Documents section of the Downloads page on www.marginmaster.com.

Setup the RDE Report

• From the Eagle Browser as above, Enter RDE in the Launch Bar and press Enter.
• The RDE Report Screen will open.  Make the following selections by selecting the appropriate Tab on the left side of the screen:
• On the Print Tab – Select Print to “S” to Send the report to the Spooler.
• On the Options Tab – Enter N as the Report Format. 
• On the From-To Tab – Remove the Store Number to include ALL Stores.
• Run the report.

Setup the RCL Report

• From the Eagle Browser as above, Enter RCL in the Launch Bar and press Enter.
• The RCL Report Screen will open.  Make the following selections by selecting the appropriate Tab on the left side of the screen:
• On the Print Tab – Select Print to “S” to Send the report to the Spooler.
• On the Options Tab – Enter N as the Report Format. 
• On the From-To Tab – Remove the Store Number to include ALL Stores.
• Run the report.

Processing the Reports in Margin Master

After the reports have processed, we can download these reports to Margin Master using the FTP Transfer utility.  Click Download Activant Files on the Import Data Screen.  Note: There have been some changes to the Download Screen.

• Users can now select today's files.
• Users can also decide what files to look for including the RDE and RCL reports.

Select the Desired Files and click transfer.  The files will be transferred, converted, and processed by Margin Master.
