The Export Format window defines the XML structure used when exporting iDempiere data. It specifies the source table, exported fields, and their sequence, acting as a reusable template for export operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is used within the standard replication framework to support data synchronization between systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By standardizing export structure, it ensures consistent, accurate data replication without repeated custom development effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBusiness Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Every Export Format is associated with a single database table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The selected table determines which columns are available for export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One Export Format can contain multiple Export Format Lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- An inactive Export Format is excluded from export processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- SQL WHERE can restrict which records are exported, when defined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Position on each line controls the sequence of XML elements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mandatory flag identifies XML elements that must be included in the export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- XML Element type exports the database column value directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Referenced EXP Format exports a related object using another Export Format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Embedded Format determines how referenced objects appear within the XML.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Part Unique Index marks fields that contribute to record identification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- User access to the Replication module in the standard iDempiere menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The source database table (e.g., M_Product, C_BPartner) must already exist in the Application Dictionary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Why this step is required: An Export Format header must exist before individual export fields can be defined. It identifies the source table and overall export definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to Replication \u2192 Export Format. Create a new record, enter a unique Search Key and Name, set the Version, select the source Table, and ensure Active is checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each Export Format Line specifies one XML element included in the exported document, including its source column and how it is represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Export Format Line tab, add a new line for each field. Set the Position, source Column, Type (XML Element or Referenced EXP Format), and Mandatory flag as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saving stores the export definition so it can be referenced by other standard processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save the record after the header and lines are configured. No additional fields are required for this action step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once saved, the Export Format becomes available for selection in the Test Export Model process and within Replication Strategy configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn how the Export Format window in iDempiere defines XML export structure, fields, and reusable templates for data replication.
