Article summary

<span class="fr-marker" data-id="0" data-type="true" style="display: none; line-height: 0;"></span><span class="fr-marker" data-id="0" data-type="false" style="display: none; line-height: 0;"></span>This document describes the FMUTA file format originating from Exact as exported by RetailVista. The file consists of a header line followed by detail lines.

If a '-' is present in the 'RetailVista field' column, it indicates that RetailVista will never populate this field, as it is not implemented. The 'FMUTA explanation' field will still mention what the content of the field would have been according to the Exact documentation. If this explanation is also empty, then the field is not in use according to the Exact documentation.

The fields for the header and detail lines are almost identical. Where they are truly identical, no additional comments are provided in the 'FMUTA explanation' in the detail line section.

Multivers also uses the FMUTA format, but with minor deviations. At the time of writing, the deviation is only present in column 25 of the header line.

The following overview shows the header line from the FMUTA file. The header line is repetitive and can appear later in the file. A header line is identifiable by line number 0.
