• If attempting to UPDATE existing Equipment, none of these Required fields except the Match On fields are needed.
  For updates, it is assumed that the Required values are already entered. For updates, you only need to provide enough values to successfully find the Equipment record you are trying to update (Asset Tag or Equipment ID, and maybe Location).
• If the Equipment Catalog has the 'Has Units' flag set, a Units value must be provided or an error happens.
  Units must be a positive integer or a zero. Null and negative values are not allowed. If the Equipment Catalog does not have the Has Units flag set to True [1], any provided Units value is ignored with no error or warning.
• The Equipment import cannot associate Equipment to a Service. See the Service Import for a way to do this.
• If you want to provide a single GLA, you can use the regular field mappings. If you want to provide multiple GLA values on one input line, you will need to use some Conditional Logic to create an array of values. This will let you provide GLAs for different Expense Types, and/or do split GLA Percentages.

Here is an example of how this is done:

// Assign fields 13-18 into the GLA array
[FLAGS.GLA_ARRAY] = array(
   array(
      'Expense_Type' = [13];
      'GLA' = [14];
      'Percent' = [15];
      ),
   array(
      'Expense_Type' = [16];
      'GLA' = [17];
      'Percent' = [18];
   ),
);

Using this method, you can provide any number of sets of GLA values.

If you provide a set of GLA values, you must provide all 3 parts: the Expense Type, GLA, and Percent.

UDF Associations

User Defined fields on any given Import are all handled the same way with Conditional Logic.
