The FASTER Web Inventory Import Utility (IIU) is an add-on which lets you import inventory item issue records from a comma separated value (CSV) flat file into FASTER Web from a vendor. The provided file or files is placed on a File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or network location by the vendor. The IIU fetches CSV flat file(s) from FTP, SFTP or network location, and then imports them into the FASTER Web database.
Once the file has been processed and stored in the (user configurable) folder, the import file(s) are deleted from the FTP, SFTP or network location, as applicable.
