Customer Orders

• When converting a quote to an order, a check box was added that allows the order date to be updated to the current date. Previous version used the quote date as the order date.

• A link button will display on the top of the form showing the balance card total for the customer. This is similar to the balance card total in POS.

• If the balance is zero, the button is not displayed.

Web Import/export

• Inventory product extract now defaults the only items changed. A full extract option was added to force a complete refresh.

• The command file imWebFullExport.cmd was added to allow the program to run via the RunBatchProrgam.

• The Web Export will no longer be launched via the End of Day Weekly/Monthly update process.

•  Add the imWebXXX  command or commands to the windows scheduler to execute. The imWebInterface.cmd is equivalent to the old process.

EDI

• An alternate suffix code can be applied to a Baker and Tayler EDI PO.

• The suffix code is added to the Vendor SAN number when [i]merchant creates the PO 850 document. 

• The dialog box that prompts for the cancel backorder option will have a field for the alternate warehouse code.

• The alternate warehouse field only appears for an EDI type of Baker and Taylor.

• The code applies to all items being sent.

  • In order to split titles between warehouses, a PO for each warehouse must be created.

  • Each of the POs need to be sent individually since the suffix code is applied to all the B&T POs being sent. 

• Normally the alternate warehouse field is blank.

• Customers should check with B&T for the valid suffix codes that can be used.

• Per B&T:

  • The suffix is assigned on the baker & taylor side, it does pertain to a particular customer in combination with the SAN. We just use a basic numeric system, if 001 is being used then we would assign the next account 0002 but the customer should get this information from us. won’t know the sequence because at times, new accounts are added, deleted, etc. 

• The suffix code is not saved, it must be entered if the selected POs should be sent to an alternate warehouse.

RunBatchProgram

• A new executable was added to [i]merchant which will launch certain programs. This program is intended to be run via a command file (*.cmd).

The following command files have been created to run these functions via the task scheduler:

Marc Interface commands

• imMarcExport.cmd – Exports POS sales information.

• imMarcImport.cmd – Imports Marc products and orders

Scan Based Trading Interface commands.

    Multiple SBT partners can be defined within [i]merchant. Each of these command files requires the [i]merchant SBT ID number to be added to the command line. For example:  “imsbt810 1”

• imsbt810.cmd - import products and POs from 810 file.

• imsbt832.cmd – Updates Po prices from 832 file

• imsbt852.cmd – Created 852 document of items sold.

Web Order Import commands:

• imWebExport.cmd – exports the available for sale amounts for products that have changes since the last export.

• imWebFullExport.cmd – exports the available for sale amounts for all products in query.

• imWebImport.cmd – Imports new order files.

• imWebInterface.cmd – Run the Import, Export and Shipping functions.

• imWebShipment.cmd – Creates shipment file of the completed orders.
