VendorConnect Setup

MoversSuite Administration > MoversConnect > VendorConnect

Use this setup area to manage vendors defined on your system that can use VendorConnect and to assign branches to support data exchange by the vendor. Please note that vendors are currently defined and managed within MoversConnect by EWS Group Professional Services (aka our Support Team). You can also reference this setup to refresh and upload changes made through MoversConnect for your vendors.

The top part of VendorConnect Setup provides information on which vendors you have defined on your system, along with options to refresh and upload this list.

Export Vendors to MoversConnect

Once you have created new VendorConnect records or made any updates to the existing records, you will need to export it to MoversConnect so that the cloud system is synchronized with any changes made through MoversSuite Administration. For that purpose, use the Upload VendorConnect Settings To MoversConnect button.

NOTE:

If you navigate to any other setup area without uploading the settings, an error will prompt you to do so, to avoid synchronization errors.

Upon successful upload, a window will prompt you for each connector (specified in the external code field for each branch item) activated for the respective vendor.
