Select Automation>Partner Applications>Vecteur Plus / Spigao > Import from Vecteur Plus / Spigao.

Process in QDV7. A Spigao Index column can be inserted into the WBS.

In QDV7, a Spigao project is identified by two variables:

▪GLV_SPIGAO_Project_Id

▪GLV_SPIGAO_Deal_Id.

NOTE Under Spigao, level #1 is for branches dedicated to providing special prices to customer documents; these prices are not taken into account in the overall price. When there are several such branches, they show in QDV7 on level #2.

Select Automation>Partner Applications>Vecteur Plus / Spigao > Export to Vecteur Plus / Spigao.
