DDMS®/DDMSPLUS®: Setting Up & Using the Educators Resource® PSN

About the Educators Resource® PSNDDMS®/DDMSPLUS® supports a direct-buy flow with Educators Resource® (EDR) using Private Supply Network (PSN). This allows you to automate the procedure of loading your dealer-specific EDR pricing into the DDMS/DDMSPLUS Item database and transmit your purchase orders through the system’s short-buy process. Purchase orders are electronically transmitted to EDR in their preferred format via PSN, and you receive the acknowledgment of the purchase order automatically. This automation makes the ordering process easier and more efficient.

Note: PSN setup uses graphical and text-based screens. For more information on opening and using text-based screens, see Opening Text-Based Screens.

Setting Up and Using the Vendor MultiLoaderThe Vendor MultiLoader program gives you access to all the supplemental vendors’ item files in just a few clicks. You can load supplemental vendor files quickly and easily. The program updates all the OPUS® supplemental vendors according to the parameters you set. Each vendor has their own settings screen.

The Vendor MultiLoader program is normally run once each quarter after you run the OPUS SIMPLE program. However, you can run the program as often as updated vendor files become available.

If you need the latest version of the Vendor MultiLoader, download it to your DDMS/DDMSPLUS server.

Note: The latest version of the Vendor MultiLoader program is automatically installed on your DDMSPLUS server when the quarterly OPUSPlusInstall program is processed. Once the Vendor MultiLoader program is installed, the Vendor MultiLoader icon is created on your DDMSPLUS desktop.

1. From your desktop, double-click . The File Transfer window opens.

2. Make sure the correct quarter is selected under the Step 1 heading.

3. Under the Step 2 heading, type VENDOR in the Enter File Name box.

4. Click Add to File Transfer List.

5. Click Transfer Now.

6. When the Download Complete message displays in the File Transfer List box, click Exit. The latest Vendor MultiLoader program is now installed.

Note: After the initial download of the Vendor MultiLoader program, the program updates automatically when you process your quarterly OPUSInstall program.

7. To start the program, click Start, then All Programs, and then VENDORMULTILOADER.exe.

Using the MultiLoader to Update Inventory with EDR ProductsUsing the Vendor MultiLoader program takes just a few steps. For more information on each step, refer to the appropriate heading.

Setting Up the Educators Resource PSNBefore you set up parameters for Educators Resource, make sure you have PSN set up. If this is your first PSN vendor and PSN is not already set up, start by following the steps in Setting Up PSN.

Once PSN is set up, setting parameters to communicate with Educators Resource involves the following:

1. Setting up the EDI record

2. Contacting Educators Resource

3. Setting up the vendor database

4. Determining default shipping parameters

5. Setting communication parameters

6. Creating a customer record

7. Setting up trading partner parameters

http://support.ecisolutions.com/doc-ddms/vendor/psn/psn.pdf



Setting Up the EDI RecordEducators Resource cannot accept your transmissions unless they enter your Qualifier, ID, and Code into their system. If you already have a Qualifier, ID, and Code in the EDI record of the (L6WB) AT&T EDI IMS Parameters screen, record these numbers and give them to Educators Resource.

Note: The values in these fields are used for multiple PSN vendors. Changing existing data may cause problems communicating with other PSN vendors that you currently have set up, so only complete this section if the Qualifier, ID, and Code fields are blank.

If the EDI record is blank, complete it using the following instructions.

1. From the text-based Master Menu, type L to open the (L) Parameters screen.

2. Type 6 to open the (L6) Vendor and Wholesaler Communications screen.

3. Type W to open the (L6W) EDI Network Communications screen.

4. Type B to open the (L6WB) screen.

5. Tab to the Qualifier field and enter one of the following:

• 01 (This is the preferred qualifier)

• 12

• 16

• ZZ

6. In the ID and Code fields, enter information according to the following:

• If your qualifier is 01, enter your DUNS number.

• If your qualifier is 12, enter your 10-digit business phone number.

• If your qualifier is 16, enter your DUNS number plus 4 letters.

• If your qualifier is ZZ, this means you mutually agreed upon the ID.

7. Press Enter to save your changes.



Contacting Educators ResourceBefore you can use PSN with Educators Resource, they must complete some setup on their system that requires you to provide specific information. The set up process may take several days on EDR’s end.

Contact Educators Resource by emailing [email protected]. In the email, include the Qualifier, ID, and Code fields in the (L6WB) screen, and ask for your Sign On ID, which you need when setting up your supply options.

Setting Up the Vendor DatabaseYou must set up a destination ID for Educators Resource and select the features to enable.

1. Set up Educators Resource as a vendor.

1.1 From the Master Menu, double-click .

1.2 In the Vendor Master tab, click .

1.3 Click the Vendor # box and type EDUCATOR.

1.4 Click the Name box and type EDR.

1.5 Click the Comm drop-down menu and select EDI.

Note: If EDR assigns you a Sign On ID that exceeds the 20-character limit for this box, email EDR to request an alias. EDR then assigns a new Sign On ID under 20 characters and a cross-reference email address where the confirmations are sent.

2.5 From the Supported Features list, select Purchase Order.

2.6 Click Exit.

3. Click .

Determining Default Shipping ParametersBefore you begin setting up the communication parameters for Educators Resource, determine your default shipping method. These default settings can be changed at the time of transmission. Educators Resource offers three shipping methods.

• Drop ship: This method sends the order directly to the Shipto address on the ticket attached to the purchase order. Each drop ship order must be on a separate P/O when using this method.

• Wrap and label: This method separates each DDMS/DDMSPLUS ticket in the transmission, which allows the vendor to sort and package each end-user order separately. These orders are shipped to the dealer’s default shipping address. Multiple orders can be sent on a single purchase order and are delivered to you pre-sorted, packaged, and labeled by customer, which saves you the cost of packing the order and printing labels.

• Stand alone: This method ships to the dealer’s default shipping address, but the orders are not separated and packed for each end-user. This option is generally for a dealer’s stocking purchase order.



After you choose your default shipping method, use the examples below to determine how to set your Drop Ship and Wrap and Label parameters.

• To set your default shipping method to drop ship, set the Drop Ship parameter to Y.

• To set your default shipping method to wrap and label, set the Drop Ship parameter to N and the Wrap and Label parameter to Y.

• To set your default shipping method to stand alone, set the Drop Ship parameter to N and the Wrap and Label parameter to N.

8. Once you are ready to transmit the P/O, type C at the Enter Number For Selection prompt.

9. The P/O is transmitted to EDR.

Determining Shipping Parameters to ChangeRefer back to Determining Default Shipping Parameters to see what you set as your default.

Once you know your system‘s default parameters, you can quickly change the shipping method to one of the other two options that Educators Resource supports. From the examples below, determine what parameters you need to change during transmission.

Changing the Shipping Method to Drop Ship • If your default shipping method is wrap and label, change the Drop Ship parameter to Y.

• If your default shipping method is stand alone, change the Drop Ship parameter to Y.

Changing the Shipping Method to Wrap and Label• If your default shipping method is drop ship, change the Drop Ship parameter to N and the Wrap and

Label parameter to Y.

• If your default shipping method is stand alone, change the Wrap and Label parameter to Y.

Changing the Shipping Method to Stand Alone• If your default shipping method is drop ship, change the Drop Ship parameter to N and the Wrap and

Label parameter to N.

• If your default shipping method is wrap and label, change the Wrap and Label parameter to N.

Once you know which parameters to change, continue to the next heading to change the shipping parameters and transmit the P/O.
