Setting Up a Vendor Configuration

In order for Horizon to be able to search for items in a vendor database, you need to set up specific information for that vendor.

To set up a vendor configuration

1 Open the vip_configuration (VIP configuration) view in the Table Editor.
2 Choose the configuration that you want to change, or create a new configuration.

Horizon displays the Edit Vendor Interface Protocol Configuration window:

3 Complete these fields:

Field

Action

VIP Configuration

Enter a code for the vendor configuration.

Description

Enter a description for the vendor configuration.

Vendor Service URL

Enter the URL for the location of the vendor’s Web service server.

Login name

If necessary, enter your login for this vendor.

Login password

If necessary, enter your password for this vendor.

Customer Account

Choose one of these options, depending on what account information your vendor needs:

None. Mark this if your vendor needs no account information.
Account number. Mark this if your vendor only needs an account number.

If the PO header has an Acct/Contract specified, Horizon uses the account number on the vendor_contract table as the account number. If you do not specify an Acct/Contract, or the vendor_contract table has no account number specified, Horizon uses the vendor account number.

SAN/SAN suffix. Mark this if the vendor needs an account number and subaccount.

Horizon takes the account from the SAN for the Ship to address on the PO header.

If the PO header has an Acct/Contract specified, Horizon uses the SAN suffix on the vendor_contract table as the subaccount. If you do not specify an Acct/Contract, or the vendor_contract table has no SAN suffix specified, Horizon uses the vendor SAN suffix as the subaccount.

4 Save your changes.
