Stock Setup for Dunlops

For Electronic Ordering you need to set some options to identify any orders you send electronically.

From the main Stock menu select the following options:

Stock -> Parameters -> Lookup Tables -> Suppliers

Enter the supplier number you have allocated to Dunlops.

The screen will display all the 'setup' options e.g. 

Supplier name  : Dunlops

Telephone No   :
Other Number   : 01387261369
Modem number   : 
Customer ref.  :  JC1 
Electronic ref : 5 
Security  ID   : xyz 
Batch Update   : 000
Purchase No.   :   0       
Discount       :   0.0

The options you need to set on this screen for Dunlops are the Customer reference (Your account code), Security ID is your password and make sure the 'Electronic Ref' is set to 5.

Note: With the 'Modem number' this is built into the software to automatically send orders to 01387259682 so you do not need to enter it. If Dunlops ever change the modem number you should change it above.

Multiple Locations

If you have separate locations (Deliver Codes) you can suffix your account number with it e.g. JC1/1 would be location 1, JC1/4 would be location 4. If no location is specified the system will default to /0.

If you are using a single server and have completely different customer codes for each branch you should use a params.txt entry. 

   Stock_Order_Ref_X = reference

Where X in the above related to the branch number, e.g.
your Ref code for Branch 1 is JC1, Branch 2 is JC2 and branch 5 is JC5; you would have the following entries. 

   Stock_Order_Ref_1 = JC1
   Stock_Order_Ref_2 = JC2
   Stock_Order_Ref_5 = JC5

For sites where you have multiple suppliers (and optionally multiple branches) you can use Stock_Order_Site_BRANCH_SUPPLIER e.g. for branch 2, supplier 5 you would use: Stock_Order_Site_2_5 = username.

Batch Number Pickup

This is offered via modem or the internet from Dunlops.
The modem number is different to that used for normal ordering. You should enter the number (currently 01387261369) into the 'Other Number' field.

For single sites the same user name and password you use for ordering is used for batch pick up. With multiple locations you should add to params.txt the entries: 

Dunlops_On-line+BRANCH = username password
e.g. 
Dunlops_On-line+1 = username password    #  Branch 1 Setting
Dunlops_On-line+2 = username password    #  Branch 2 Setting
Dunlops_On-line+3 = username password    #  Branch 3 Setting

You may also have multiple suppliers for Dunlops, that is supplier 1 may be Large Animal, Supplier 4; Small Animal and Supplier 7 for Equine goods. You can again set some params.txt entries: 

Dunlops_On-line+BRANCH_Supplier = username password
e.g. 
Dunlops_On-line+1_1 = username password    #  Branch 1 - Large Animal
Dunlops_On-line+1_7 = username password    #  Branch 1 - Equine 
Dunlops_On-line+3_5 = username password    #  Branch 3 - Supplier 5

Other Params.txt Entries
