A method for interfacing with an enterprise resource planning system is provided. The method includes providing a file containing data to be loaded into the enterprise planning system (the "data file"). A file containing at least one parameter (the "parameter file") is created. The parameter file maps data from the data file to screens of the enterprise resource planning system. Each record in the data file is processed according to the parameters in the parameter file to execute screens of the enterprise resource planning system so as to provide the data from the data file to the enterprise resource planning system.
