Order and item unload records

In this document

Data: Order and item unload records

The items unload excerpt contains visible records with six populated pipe-delimited values and a trailing delimiter. The second field contains identifiers from 1001 through 1015. The first field is an integer sequence that commonly restarts at one when the second field changes and increases across adjacent records sharing that second-field value. E0007

Identifiers such as 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1010, 1012, 1013, and 1014 occur on multiple lines, indicating that the second field groups related records; this grouping is an inference from the record pattern. The fourth field uses HRO, HSK, ANZ, NRG, and SMT. The fifth field contains integer quantities including 1, 2, 5, and 10, while the sixth contains decimal values such as 19.8, 20.0, 99.0, 250.0, and 960.0. E0007

The unload file does not declare field meanings. Cross-file use in the order insertion logic provides a plausible mapping to item number, order number, stock number, manufacturer code, quantity, and total price, but that mapping remains an inference rather than metadata proven by the unload file.
