Electronic Order Interfaces

DealerChoice has created several electronic order interfaces that help expedite the placement of orders with particular vendors. The electronic order interface template is a file that maps the order data fields per the vendors electronic order specifications. This file is what determines how the data will be formatted and in some cases, how the purchase order data is transmitted to the vendor. The template files are managed by DealerChoice. If you work with a vendor that supports electronic order submissions, please email Dealer Choice support at support@dc-sysllc.com with the vendor name and if possible a vendor contact. They will contact the vendor to discuss the electronic order process on your behalf.

Once an electronic order template has been added to a vendors profile in the Vendors database, you will have the ability to generate purchase orders that can be sent (emailed or via web services) to the vendor as an electronic order.

DealerChoice has created electronic order interfaces for the following vendors:

Allsteel
Geiger
Haworth
Herman Miller
Kimball
Knoll
National
OFUSA
Teknion

The electronic order interface process begins with purchase order creation. If an electronic order interface is in place for a vendor, the "Submit Via" field in the Create Purchase Orders window will include an option named "Generate electronic order". This option will allow you to create the electronic order file for the vendor.
