Extract the DoItBest.zip file to a DoItBest folder in the System5\Bin folder.
ThisDoItBest folder will contain all the stylesheets needed for the integration to function correctly.
At this point you will need to create the Do It Best supplier account before doing anything else.
Make a note of the unique number of the supplier account as it will need to be entered into the “orderconfirmation.xsl” file.
The six digit DIBMember number is specified from Do-It-Best. You can find this inside the first row of the “ORDCNFM_010” file.
To find this number, refer to the first line of the ORDCNFM_010 file from DoItBest. Count in 11 digits. This is the first digit of the 6 digit DIBMember number. Make a note of digits 11 through 16. In the example this is 06777D.
When you edit the xsl file; the <DIBMember> is the Do It Best Member number or account number from Do It Best. The <SupplierID> is the supplier unique number from System Five.
example
<config:settings> <DIBMember>06777D</DIBMember> <SupplierID>2556</SupplierID> </config:settings>
Next you will need to set up the following categories as per Do-It Best's category structure.
Categories as of December 2014 are:
Main Cat# Description
* You must create these categories, and if you have already assigned these inventory categories to something else, you will need to change those categories so that they use numbers that are not being used by the Do It Best Integration. *
Next you will need to download your import files from Do It Best.
open System Five and from the navigator:
Access Inventory and Purchases > Data Load > Part Load The current inventory update file is always in FILEMNT_010. POSLOAD_010 contains all inventory items and is intended only for system initialization and startup.
The instructions in the System Five help file are incomplete. So ignore them and follow the instructions below:
To load all inventory you need to use the POSLOAD_010 file from Do-It-Best
To load it you will use the dataload in System Five.
The options screen should load with the following options:
The time required to process will depend on the number of items being updated.
The data load will load all the parts into categories defined by the dataload, but it will not give the categories any names.
So the integration assumes that the end user has already setup the main and sub categories, and has created them in compliance with Do-It Best's category structure mentioned at the beginning of this document.
Access Inventory and Purchases > Data Load > Part Load
The current inventory update file is always in FILEMNT_010.
To update the existing inventory you need to use the FILEMNT_010 file from Do-It-Best
Again… The instructions in the help file are incomplete. So ignore them and follow the instructions below:
Select [Next] to view/set column options.
The first thing you need to do to set up the Purchase Order Confirmation will be to open System Five and determine the unique number of the Do It Best supplier account.
Go To setup Tools - Utilities - XML Central
If You have not already done so, you need to extract the DoItBest.zip file to a DoItBest folder in the System5\Bin folder.
To setup System Five for importing Do-It-Best order confirmation files, select Import From XML in the XML Central window, as shown in figure 1.
From the Import XML window, shown in Figure 2, click on the [New] button.
In the Message window, enter a name for the settings entry, as shown in Figure 3.
In the Import XML window, set the Import File Type, to the prime character, “`”, located on the same key as the Tilde, “~” character, as shown in Figure 2. Set Import From to Import From File. In the options to the right, check Import PO Lines. In the XSL Filter set the path to the orderconfirmation.xsl file, and also check the Prompt for filename option before selecting [Exit].
To add the new setting to the Quick List, right click on Quick List in the menu, select Customize Lists click the [Add Import/Export] button, select the entry created as shown in Figure 4, click the [OK] button and then the [Save Changes] button. The setup is now complete.
To import a file, click on the New Import option, as shown in Figure 5, then navigate to the file and double click. The file will always be ORDCNFM_010 unless it has been renamed after it was downloaded.
The newly imported purchases orders can viewed by selecting recent in the List Purchase Orders window.
