Vision now integrates with WebWareOP from WebLink Solutions Corporation. This integration enables you to migrate your customers from VSP+ to WebWareOP.
This section provides the following information:
Integration Features immediately below.
Now when an order comes from WebLink through AconneX, Vision is able to apply default credit card information if that is indicated in the order information (“DC” for default credit card, “O” for on account). WebLink orders through AConneX can also now transmit the customer code (billing code).
Vision software checks whether the
customer is set up for manual credit card handling. If so, Vision
does not process the default credit card.
The customer setting for manual credit card handling is located here:
Customer Maintenance --> Master : Handling
Manually Apply Credit Card as Form of
Payment
AConneX now provides support for National Industries for the Blind (NIB) part requirements for government customers.
When a government customer enters a product via eCommerce, AConneX now checks for valid NIB products that must be used instead.
If AConneX returns a valid NIB product, it is returned with a status value of 6, meaning “alternate found.”
Vision now provides complete order history for eCommerce customers. You can now review online both regular orders and eCommerce orders. In order to do this, you must configure Vision with FTP information for sending a file containing the non-AConneX invoices to WebLink.
If the FTP fields are configured, Vision automatically creates a file with the invoices for the day’s orders for eCommerce customers which were not originally entered through AConneX.
The file is automatically sent to WebLink during the end of day process (EOD). You also have the option of performing a manual resend. The manual resend is located here:
