Remember to refresh
If you create any new work unt in Enterprise resource planning, remember to refresh Visual APS before you run the import process

What to import
You don’t have to import all work units into Visual APS.  You can be selective during the import process

Rebuild
If you are not immediately seeing changes after updating your work unit properties, you may need to tick the rebuild check box on the work center record

 

 

You can select default propery values for your work unit during import from Enterprise Resource Planning.  Properties can also be updated post import.  Visual APS allows additional properties to be set against a work unit. Refer to the Advanced User Guide for Float resources and consumption settings.
