Why Can't I Find My Audatex Estimate Files?

The Claim Numbers on the estimate and the Assignment must match exactly or you will not be able to upload your estimate files.

1. Log on to ShopLink.
2. On the GoTo menu, click Profiles.
3. In the left navigation pane, expand the Shop Profile folder, expand the Options folder, and click CIECA-UDS Import/Export. The Shop Profile - CIECA-UDS Import/Export Options window opens in the right pane.
4. Do one of the following:
   • If either the CIECA 2.01 or CIECA 2.6 check boxes is selected and there is a path in the corresponding Primary Export Directory field, leave it as is. Go to step 7.
   • If neither CIECA check box is selected, continue with step 5.
5. Select the CIECA 2.6 check box.
6. In the Primary Export Directory field for the check box, do one of the following:
   • If there is already a path, leave it as is.
   • If the field is blank, type in a path (for example: C:\SLWIN\EXPORT\2.6).

7. Select the Enforce Mandatory CIECA Export check box. If prompted to create the directory, click Yes.

   This completes the process to enable EMS export and set your export directory in ShopLink. The system will now automatically create and export EMS files to the export directory when an estimate is committed.

To export EMS files, you must commit your estimate. Your estimating system automatically creates and exports EMS files to the export directory when you commit an estimate.
