About DDMS supports Digital Storage using Private Supply Network (PSN). This allows you to electronically transmit purchase orders from DDMS to Digital Storage, which makes the ordering process easier and more efficient. Using the ECi Content Integration software, you can periodically load dealer-specific Digital Storage pricing into the DDMS Item database, place Digital Storage items on orders for customers, and fulfill Digital Storage items through your DDMS system s short-buy processes. The purchase orders are electronically transmitted to Digital Storage in their preferred format via PSN, and you receive the acknowledgment of the purchase order automatically. PSN set up uses graphical and text-based screens. For more information on opening and using text-based screens, see Opening Text-Based Screens (pdf) on the Customer Support Center. Receiving Authorization Before you can get started, you must set up a new account or activate your existing Digital Storage account for use with PSN. To do this, contact your Digital Storage representative or email customerservice@ digitalstorage.com. Contacting Digital Storage While setting up PSN, you must enter information obtained directly from Digital Storage. Before you begin setting up the ECi Content Integration software, you need an item file containing dealer-specific pricing. This item file allows you to load Digital Storage stock numbers and pricing into your DDMS system. Email Adam Schomaker at adam.schomaker@digitalstorage.com to obtain the following information: An account number. A sign on ID (Your account number with Digital Storage). A sign on password. An item file containing dealer-specific pricing. Setting Up ECi Content Integration Software for Use with Digital Storage PSN Follow the headings below to set up your system to communicate with Digital Storage. Getting Started Use the following tips to make your setup easier. Before setting up the ECi Content Integration software, follow the steps in the Contacting Digital Storage heading to make sure you have your item file. Before starting the process, you should compress your item files using the ;SPCCMPJR program and compress the I-SUPER file. In DDMS, use the (Z) [C7] function. In DDMSPLUS, use the (Z) [A] function. Compressing these files could increase the processing speed from hours to minutes. Call DDMS Support for assistance. When setting up the software, note that loading the ECi Content Integration software, loading the Digital Storage item file, and rebuilding the Super Index are all dedicated functions. Performing a dedicated function while other people are using the DDMS system can cause loss of information and corruption of files. 3

Installing ECi Content Integration Software You only need to perform this installation once. When you run the latest ECi Content Integration software Version 2.4.0 of higher, the latest version automatically downloads and updates. 1. Log in to https://support.ecisolutions.com. 2. On the navigation bar, click Software Downloads. 3. Under DDMS, click the link for ECi Content Install. 4. Follow the steps listed on the page. Opening the ECi Content Integration Software Once the ECi Content Integration software is installed, you access it from your Start menu. 1. Click the Start button. 2. Click All Programs. 3. Select ECiContentServices, then ECiContentIntegration, and then ECiContentIntegration.exe. Using ECi Content Integration Software with the Digital Storage PSN You must first obtain an item file from Digital Storage and place it in your OPUS download folder or in another location in DDMS where you can browse to locate the file. Refer to the Contacting Digital Storage heading to obtain this file. 1. Open the ECi Content Integration software. 2. Click the drop-down menu to select Digital Storage. The Digital Storage logo displays. 3. Click the Digital Storage logo to open the Update Items window. 4. Click Browse to select the file that Digital Storage emailed to you. 5. Check the Add New Items not Found in my Database box to add additional items. The New Items options display. When adding new items, consider specifying a unique stock class for the new items. You can then review the new items added to your inventory by running an inventory report limited to that stock class. The stock class can be mass changed later if needed. 6. Complete the Stock Class and Department boxes. 7. Check the Update Item Descriptions (I-MASTER) box to allow the Digital Storage description to override the current description. 4

The Use I-SUPER to Match Items box is checked by default. Clear this box only for troubleshooting purposes. 8. Check the Update Average Cost (I-PRICE) box to allow the Digital Storage cost to update the Average Cost for the items. 9. Check the Update List Price (I-PRICE) box to allow the Digital Storage List Price to update the List Price for the items. 10. Enter up to 10 stock classes to exclude from the update. A dash in the second box indicates a range of classes. 11. The Clear DStorage.log and Clear Exceptions check boxes relate to item update reports that are placed into the Content Integration program folder. ECi recommends that you leave these boxes checked unless you are asked to uncheck for troubleshooting purposes. If the item is not found in the dealer s database through the process of matching item keys, the program searches using other information. If a match is found using another method, the item is updated in your database and the entries are added to the Digital Storage log file. For example: Digital Storage Item found Updated Item#- in I-SUPER [Number found with] Digital Storage Item found Updated Item#- in I-SUPER by UPC [UPC Number used] The EXCEPTIONS log reports all items that did not load into your DDMS database, along with an explanation for why it did not load. (You can view these files by clicking the buttons in the upper right corner of the window.) 5

12. Click Save Update Options to save your preferences. 13. Click Begin Update. The Update Complete dialog box opens. 14. Click OK. The Last File Processed displays in the lower left corner, along with the item number and record count being processed in the lower right corner. 15. Click the in the upper right corner to close the program. Building the Super Index Once you have loaded the vendor s item file, ECi recommends that you rebuild the Super Index, which allows you to enhance search capabilities. If you build the Super Index, end-users can search for the vendor s unique item numbers in Order Entry and e-commerce applications. Building the Super Index is a dedicated procedure. Only perform it when no one else is using the system. The Super Index is stored in the I-SUPER file. 1. From the text-based Master Menu, type E to open the (E) Inventory Master screen. 2. Select the [O] Other Screens action code. 3. Select the [R] Reindex Files action code. 4. At the Enter Password prompt, enter the password from the Reindex field in the (LE) Inventory Parameters screen. 5. In the Re-build Item Index Files screen, type F. 6. At the Are You Sure prompt, type Y to reindex I-SUPER. To activate the new I-SUPER index, shut down and restart the TBL Server on your DDMS server. On your DDMS server, open TBL Server and click Users, then Administrator to verify that the reindexing procedure is complete. The program name RPT:E1 means reindexing is still in progress. When this program name no longer displays, the process is complete. If the reindexing feature is not complete, the file is corrupted. Setting Up Before you set up parameters for Digital Storage, make sure you have PSN set up. If this is your first PSN vendor and PSN is not already set up, start by following the steps in the Setting Up PSN handout on the Customer Support Center. Once PSN is set up, setting parameters to communicate with Digital Storage involves the following: 1. Setting up the vendor database. 2. Setting communication parameters. 3. Setting up the salesperson database. 4. Creating a customer record. 5. Setting up trading partner parameters. You must be on DDMS version 10.8.80 or higher to transmit or check stock/price for Digital Storage. 6

Using Stock/Price Check Using PSN, you can check vendor stock availability and price from the Order Entry window. When you check an item s price or availability, PSN checks your item database to see which vendor(s) carries the item. Then, it checks the Supply Options window in the Vendor tab for trading partners with enabled stock and price checks. Finally, it checks the trading partner s available quantities and pricing via the Internet and displays the results in Order Entry. By setting up the Salesperson database, an order-writer can check pricing and availability at any time. For more information, refer back to the heading Setting Up the Salesperson Database. To check vendor stock availability and price, do the following: 1. From the Master Menu, double-click. The Order Entry screen opens. 2. In the Item Detail tab, retrieve the item for which to check pricing or availability. 3. Right-click the item name and select Vendor Stock Check. 4. In the Stock/Price Check window, click the check box next to each vendor for whom to receive stock availability costs. 5. Click Check Vendor. The selected vendor(s) return their available stock quantities and your dealerspecific cost. 6. Click OK. The Qty and Cost column under the Factored heading is only populated if the dealer s SELL unit of measure is different than the vendor s BUY unit of measure. 17

To check pricing or availability in the text-based Order Entry screen, type S in the Price field. The Price Check window opens. Transmitting the P/O After building a P/O, manually transmit it to Digital Storage in the (SR)[B] screen. 1. From the text-based Master Menu, type SR to open the (SR) Purchase Order Reports screen. 14:48:54 (SR) Purchase Order Reports rev.

At the Enter Number For Selection prompt, type C to complete the transmission and transmit the P/O to Digital Storage or press Esc to change additional information. 5. The P/O is transmitted to Digital Storage. Receiving Acknowledgements Once the purchase order is transmitted, the dealer automatically receives an acknowledgement from Digital Storage that the transmission has been completed. The shipped quantities are automatically prereceived on the purchase order when the acknowledgement prints. This can also update the cost on the purchase order in DDMS, depending on the setting in the Update Cost box in the General Communication Information Parameters screen.
