OpsOpenCostCardBatch

Cost cards are imported into Projector using a three step process:

  1. Open a cost card import batch. This provides a batch id. The OpsOpenCostCardBatch web service will open a new batch and return a batch id.
  2. Load one or more cost cards into the pending batch. This loads the data into a temporary staging table for later processing. The OpsImportCostCards web service adds cost cards to a given batch. This web service may be invoked multiple times, each time adding one or more cards to the open batch.
  3. Process the batch. Create cost cards (and associated expense documents) in the system from the contents of the open batch. The OpsCloseCostCardBatch web service closes and processes a batch.

Request

The service request contains nothing in addition to the standard authentication information.
