Active The record is active in the system There are two methods of making records unavailable in the system: One is to delete the record, the other is to de-activate the record. A de-activated record is not available for selection, but available for reports.

There are two reasons for de-activating and not deleting records: (1) The system requires the record for audit purposes. (2) The record is referenced by other records. E.g., you cannot delete a Business Partner, if there are invoices for this partner record existing. You de-activate the Business Partner and prevent that this record is used for future entries.

Start No Starting number/position The Start Number is used to assign data fields in the source data file to the import data record. The Start Number indicates the starting position or column number of the field in the source data. The first column/position in each line of the source data file has Starting Number = 1.

The Starting Number does not have to be in order or contiguous and the data file can have many more data columns than the ones imported.

If you setup your format field records in the same order as your source text file, you can use the sequence number divided by ten to specify your start number, and not loose track of which column you're up to.

The callout is a Java class implementing org.compiere.model.Callout and a method name to call. Example: "org.compiere.model.CalloutRequest.copyText" instanciates the class "CalloutRequest" and calls the method "copyText". You can have multiple callouts by separating them via a semicolon
