Connect with suppliers

So-called EDI connection to suppliers makes it easy to order goods to orders.

When the connection is in place, you just enter the order number when ordering and the articles are then pushed straight into the order in the system.

In the list below, you can see which suppliers we currently offer connection to.

Is your supplier not on the list? Contact us and we will discuss with the supplier. All major suppliers can be added, provided that the supplier offers so-called EDI connection.

If you instead import an article register, the supplier can be specified on the article.

How to add a EDI connection

Step 1

Notify your salesperson at the respective supplier that you want to connect with “EDI” to us at serviceprotocol.com. Your salesperson then places an order for this and articles will automatically enter the order number you enter when ordering from the supplier.

Step 2
  1. Log in (admin permission is required)
  2. Click on Add integration found at the bottom on the page Group settings.
  3. Select the provider you want to connect to in the list.
  4. Fill in the requested information, your customer number or organization number.
Step 3 – EXPRESSION

Fill in an equation in the EXPRESSION field if you wish to set conditions (expressions) for the price of articles from this particular supplier. The equation can, for example, be used to give different markups for different price levels (markup steps)
An EDI equation “stands above” general markups. Decimals are written with a period, e.g.: 2.1

Here some examples:

1. (5*Pow(x,-0.25)*x)+x   (This is a logarithmic formula that makes the markup smaller the higher the price)

2. x*1.6 (All prices are increased by 1.6)

3. x*2+200 (100% markup + 200kr)

As support, there are instructions and support for creating an equation. Click on a variable to select it and it will be added to your equation. You will see these when you place the cursor in the EXPRESSION field.

Click on a variable to select it and it will be added to the Expression.

You will find instructions under the ? (questionsmark).

Example

The first line shows what you entered. In line two and so on you have values ​​that can be used.
