To receive Dynamic Supplies stock feeds, the Dynamic Supplies Licence Agreement must be emailed to paul@ds.net.au (Paul Manning, National Sales and Marketing Manager, Dynamic Supplies). Contact support@happen.biz to obtain the licence agreement.
To set up automated stock feeds you will require two email accounts:
▪A dedicated POP3 email account for receiving automated data feeds from Dynamic Supplies (eg. dynamicfeeds@company.com.au). This email account is used by the DynamicFeed Jes module to automatically receive stock feeds.
▪An email account to receive purchase acknowledgement emails from Dynamic Supplies (to be viewed by your purchasing staff). This can be an existing email account.
Set up stock feed processing on Jim2 eBusiness Server.
Create a subdirectory on your server for the data feeds. The suggested is c:temp\DynamicSupplies.
Within the Jim2 Configuration Manager, right click on the Jes instance and select Configure. Under StockFeed, set up the rules to determine which email belongs to Dynamic Supplies by matching sender, subject and/or attached file name. An example is as follows.
Select the Feeds button and set up as follows:
Stock Feed Name: This is used for email rules, and must match.
Vendor Code: Your vendor card code.
Restart Jes, then open the Dynamic Supplies vendor cardfile. On the Vendor tab, tick Enable Electronic Send, then select Setup.
Enter FTP username, password and account ID.
To see if a feed is being processed, check the Age column for Dynamic Supplies via eBusiness > Vendor Stock Feeds. This shows the age of the feed in days.
