After all I was just responding to your response to clarify that the limitations you described are easily overcome.

The term is new to describe the type of edge automation tasks you can accomplish without changing existing app code. Check out our Automate product to learn more http://www.helpsystems.com/automate You can script Excel entry, validation, reformatting and logging efforts all into an automated task. You can upload/download, validate, call CL and RPG programs as well as script 5250, Web and Windows interactivity if needed. If you want to do a little POC review send me a scenario and I'm happy to demo some concepts as well. If you google it, RPA is all the buzz for automating mind numbing daily tasks and it works well.

So, I can key the data into INV500 manually, with it's interactive edit checks, or, I can key the data into Excel without any edit checks and then pump it up with your software and then let the edit checks happen. I can only see this being an advantage if I had some method of an intelligent automated process which would dump out the necessary corrections, convert that into Excel, and then pump it up with your software.
