Inventory Subject Codes may be imported in the same way as the inventory data above.

The line that must be entered in the MLE box is: INVSUBJECT,keyword-1,keyword-2,keyword-3,…

Where keyword may be entered in any sequence and may be any of the following codes:

AUTOCALC If the Item code is a 12 digit number, that commences with any code, then the check digit will be computed in the last (i.e. 13th) position. If this parameter is read in, then the following parameter is ignored.

AUTOCALC=xxx where xxx represents the first three characters of a 12 digit number. Only those 12 digit numbers commencing with xxx will have the check digit computed and inserted into the 13th position. Up to twenty of these parameters may be entered, in order to accept a number of codes.

ADDZERO If this parameter is present, then the above conversion of a 12 digit number, is changed when the first two digits are both zeroes. The 12 digits are shifted to the right and a zero is added to the front of the number. The number will then start with three zeroes.

STARTNUMOK If this parameter is present, then any Item Code that commences with a digit (0-9) will be accepted, provided that the number does not contain 8, 10 or 13 digits.

Note that the keywords are not case sensitive.

One Subject code must be present per input record – multiple Subject codes for the same APN must be present in multiple records.

The description of the Subject may follow as the third field. If this is present, then Table 71 will be updated at the same time.

The following is an example of a valid string:

INVSUBJECT,AUTOCALC=978,AUTOCALC=271,StartNumOK

The fields in the input record are defined below:
