Tech Data Online Ordering Setup

Important:   Make sure you've entered your Real-time Module License Key, which is required for the online-ordering feature.

The Online Ordering feature requires at least one Real-Time Data module license key, separate from the main QuoteWerks product. The Real-Time Data module license needs to be entered into QuoteWerks under the Utilities -> License Manager menu before the Online Ordering module will become available.

Select the Tools -> Options-> Real-time tab-> Real-time Setup menu. On this tab, select the Tech Data tab and click the [Setup] button on the bottom right corner.

On the Tech Data Online Ordering Options window you can specify the default settings for the Online Ordering feature. These settings mostly control the defaults used when placing the order on the Tech Data Online Order Form described later.

General Tab

Defaults

 
Ship Via
Here you can select which shipping carrier you would like to set as your default.

Blind Packaging
If this option is selected, the packages sent from Tech Data will not have any Tech Data markings on it.

Back Order Handling
This option determines how backordered items are handled. You can choose to have each back ordered item shipped as they become available, or wait until all items are available and then ship them together.

Flooring Account
This option lets you set the default value for your flooring account with Tech Data.

Timeout (Secs)
This is used to adjust the amount of time QuoteWerks waits for a response after submitting an order. It takes Tech Data longer to process an order request, so the timeout value for the online ordering is typically set to a larger number than the real-time pricing timeout. The default is 90 seconds.
 

MyOrderTracker Tab

On this tab are default settings for the Tech Data MyOrderTracker feature that will be used when placing orders. The Tech Data MyOrderTracker feature enables you to request that Tech Data send the reseller or the end user order status e-mail notifications of key events such as the order confirmation, order shipment, Deliver confirmation (Fedex only), etc.

Note:        In order for the MyOrderTracker feature to work, on the Tech Data website, you need to have a default MyOrdertracker template setup. If you have not previously done this, you will need to log into the Tech Data website and do this. If you need help setting up your Tech Data MyOrderTracker template, you can call Tech Data support at 800-222-7926 option [2].
