EDI Products

This section covers receiving new products via EDI, via Excel, via VCIS

Create Product

This allows new products to be manually entered into the system

Converting / Changing Product Codes

Whilst you can do this yourself one by one you can only change a product code to another which does not already exist.

Bulk changes of the codes are possible as are merging codes, however this is not available to end users and we offer a service to change the codes.

Contact Customer Services to arrange this OR log a ticket in the RFC for Data changes.

We will provide a spreadsheet which your customer will complete and we will alter the codes, the turnaround of this needs to be fast to be effective otherwise you will not be able to change all the products and each time it is run there would be a charge.

Bulk Loading / Bulk Changes

The Ontech team offer the ability to bulk load customers, there would be a charge for carrying out this service but please speak to the customer services team for more information.

Some fields can only be set at the time of a new product creation. Please ensure that you have the details correct before saving the product for the first time.

In order to setup a product, you need to ensure that the following are already setup
