I printed out the listing of IEM's import order file fields and used that to create my file. I am using a fixed-field format.

When I tried my first import, data was shifted all over the place. I looked at the import preview screen and discovered the reason... the fields IEM is importing into are different from what is in the documentation! What's up with that?

For example, the first field in the preview screen is a logical field called MULTISHIP. This field is not identified in the documentation.

There is a field called INTERNET_ID at field position 71 (it is in the documentation, but at field position 105).

After field position 93 things really get crazy, its completely different.

Does anyone know when these changes occured? I thought my documentation was up-to-date, but maybe Dydacomp never released a newer version? What confidence should I have that the next time we upgrade MOM the format will not change again, making my import files useless?

Thank you.
