How to Generate the Proper Report Format Using MarketWare POS Software


This works with the native SALES.DBF file.  
Depending on the MarketWare version/release date, the 
Upload Filename is SALES.DBF and the Upload File Type is DYMOND.
Other Upload File Types will be created as needed depending on 
your version of MarketWare.

This method does not require you to generate a
Report File as the native SALES.DBF is the one that is uploaded.
SALES.DBF contains sales data for the quarter.

The three support files:

MALLUPLD.EXE
SALES_UPLOAD.BAT
MCTEST.BAT

need to be placed in the same directory as SALES.DBF.  
Instructions for downloading these files is located on the Store Page.

Go to your Store Page, sign in, and scroll down to the middle of the blue
section.  On the right side you'll see a list of three files.  Do a right
click on the first file MALLUPLD.EXE and "Save Target As ..." which brings
up a window/dialog.  You'll have to navigate to the right folder
and click the "Save" button in the lower right hand corner.  Repeat for 
the next two files.  Look inside the directory and verify that the 
three files are there.  MALLUPLD.EXE has a three cherry icon.

Before we forget, make a shortcut of SALES_UPLOAD.BAT and place it on the desktop
for your convenience.  This is done by right-clicking on the SALES_UPLOAD.BAT file,
choose Make Shortcut and save it on your desktop.  You can also place it on your 
toolbar.

To test the upload process, double click the MCTEST.BAT file.  A dialog may
appear that says "Publisher Not Verified", click OK and run the program.  A
black screen will flash on and then disappear.  Go back to your Store Page,
sign in as needed, scroll down to the middle of the blue section, click on 
the refresh button and below the refresh button you'll see a list of three
files in green.  One of them should say:

   MALLUPLD.EXE (159.744) <--GOOD TEST!!!!
   
which means everything is good and we are 99% of the way there.

Double click the SALES_UPLOAD.BAT icon once everyday.  The best time would be after
the end of day process so that the upload will have the most current sales.
