titleInterfaces

Interfaces cover both the API interface which is used from the

  • web interface to your web site

  • Vision Insight (Andoird salesman application)

  • Vision Horizon (Android ePOS application)

and also the internal CSV output/loading of files and information which allow you to

  • output price-lists

  • import price list updates

  • CSV validate customers (now replaced by the API)

  • CSV validate sales orders (now replaced by the API)

File Options

Export and Upload
The Export and Upload functionality is designed to allow you to easily update prices on products, product price lists, and customer price lists.

It is NOT designed to amend anything other than prices on price lists, so to add product or remove them from price lists you should still use the relevant functionality on Vision Commerce.

This tab on the form deals with both Exports of Information and Imports and validation of the data.

You can export

  • Product Prices

  • Product Price Lists

  • Customer Price Lists

Make sure you remember Specify the directory where you send want the files to , use the browse button to set the location to somewhere you can remember, once the files are created, you can then edit the values on the file and then re-upload the file which will automatically update the databe downloaded to.
The system will then export a file which can be edited in excel or a similar application.

Note

You should only update the sales prices on the files and reupload, make sure you do not alter the other information on the line especially the first field which is used to load the data back into the system.

Image Removed

When you have finished editing the files save them and go back to the system but this time use the UPLOAD button

Image Added

When you upload the data you will be asked to provide a directory for the location of the file, this will then load the data and you MUST validate whichever price lists should you loaded.

Should there be no issues during the validation it will load the data and immediately the new pricing takes effect.

Validation Issues

Anything which has failed validation will be shown in the VIEW/EDIT rejections page and from here you can double-click on the item, correct the issue and then resubmit it.

API Options

If you go to the API options you will be able to see all the items which are coming into the system from either the website, Vision Insight, Vision Horizon. where the items have NOT been able to go directly into the main system.

if you wish to look at the details of what has been happening then you should view the audit log which provides a complete breakdown of all the transactions being processed

The other tabs for customers and orders are built in such a way that only items with issues are left showing here on the screen, when an order or customer can be processed automatically then this will be carried out and you will need to do nothing.

The information shown on the tabs is the complete information we have been sent from the external application so you can see all the fields.

If you want to complete the information you can simply enter the missing information or double-click the entry will provide you with a form for key information which is missing, if there are further details which you have not noticed are missing then these need to be filled in.

Tip

When this interface is tested we expect the web provider to consistently provide the correct information in the field so failure for items which are mandatory should not be happening. There are however some fields that the website does not know and those fields may need to be entered at this point.

The API Maintenance tabs help you define what happens when items come in through the API menu.
