Vendor Transmission Methods

 

The Transmission section of the Vendor Details screen determines how orders and bid requests are submitted to the vendor:

  • VO Mode refers to the method by which purchase orders are submitted to this vendor. If 'E-Mail Text', 'E-Mail PDF', or 'E-Mail PDF-Custom' is selected, purchase orders will be e-mailed to the "VO E-Mail" addresses indicated in the Communications section of this screen; multiple e-mail addresses can be entered, separated by a semicolon.  If 'FTP', 'Secure FTP', or 'Web Services' is selected, an "Interface" must be chosen.
  • Bid Mode refers to the method by which bid sheets are submitted to this vendor to acquire new bids. If any of the E-Mail options are selected, bid sheets will be e-mailed to the "Bid E-Mail" address indicated in the Communications section of this screen.  >> More
  • Interface is used if the company has an account with this vendor for direct online ordering; the relevant details must be entered in the Location Details tab of this screen for this to work properly. (See the Vendor Interface Guide for details about setting up a specific interface.)
