Setting Up Vendors and Electronic Parts Ordering (Version 4.9.3)

You can order parts online through ALLDATA Manage using any of the following:

 

STEP 1: SET UP ACCOUNTS WITH PARTS VENDORS

  • Before you can order parts online, you must set up accounts with each VENDOR (parts supplier). 
  • AutoZone and WORLDPAC each act like both CATALOGS and VENDORS.
    • Contact your local AutoZone commercial store to set up an account and get credentials (such as a user name and password).
    • Contact WORLDPAC directly to setup an account, get credentials and to install the WORLDPAC SpeedDIAL on your computer(s).
  • Other local parts VENDORS work in partnership with parts CATALOGS (Autoi, Federated Autoi, IAP & WHI).
    • Contact each local VENDOR directly to set up an account and get credentials (such as a user name and password).
    • Note: The CATALOG companies do not supply credentials.  Instead, contact the local parts VENDORS that deliver the products that you order through the CATALOG websites.

STEP 2: CREATE AND SET UP VENDOR RECORDS IN ALLDATA MANAGE

  1. On the shortcut bar, click Inventory >> Vendors >> On the Vendors page, click New.
  2. On the New Vendor screen, fill in the fields with yellow headers.
    • Note: Only the Vendor Name and Vendor Code are required.
    • Click Submit.
  3. The vendor record will close and the Vendors screen will open with a list of vendors displayed.
  4. If it is not already highlighted, click the newly created vendor so that it is highlighted in blue >> Click Edit.
  5. On the Edit Vendor screen, in the white box that says Online Catalog and Electronic Ordering Credentials:
    • In the Trading Relationships field, click New >> Configure.
    • In the Trading Relationships Name field, type the vendor name as you want it to appear on the tab in the Catalog Viewer >> Click Continue.
      • If the vendor supplies parts through multiple catalogs, add the catalog name after the vendor name.
        • Example: MaxParts (Autoi)
      • Note: The longer the name, the wider the tab, which reduces the number of tabs that will be viewable at one time in the Catalog Viewer.
    • In the Catalog drop-down box, select the catalog that the vendor works through >> Click Continue.
    • In the Credentials box, enter the credentials asked for by that vendor, such as User Name and Password >> Click Complete.
      • If you do not know your vendor credentials, contact the vendor directly.  ALLDATA Customer Support does NOT have this information on file.
  6. On the Edit Vendor screen, click Submit.
  7. The Catalog Viewer now includes a tab with this vendor name, and parts can be ordered electronically from this vendor.
  8. To assign the same vendor to an additional catalog, repeat Steps 5-7.
  9. Repeat this process for each additional vendor.  There is no limit to the number of vendors that can be entered.

STEP 3: SET UP ONLINE ORDERING FOR AUTOZONE

  1. If the Vendors screen is not already open, on the shortcut bar, click Inventory >> Vendors.
  2. Click on AutoZone Electronic Ordering so that it is highlighted in blue >> Click Edit.
  3. On the Edit Vendor screen, add or change AutoZone information, if desired.
  4. In the white box that says AutoZone Electronic Ordering, enter your six-digit personal identification number in the Pin field >> Click Get Password.
    • If you do not know your AutoZone PIN, contact the AutoZone store directly or AutoZone Commercial Support at 1-866-853-6459.
  5. On the Edit Vendor screen, click Submit.
  6. Parts can now be ordered electronically from your local AutoZone commercial store.
    • If you have CHECKED Map OEM/AutoZone Parts, the OEM + AutoZone tab will automatically list AutoZone parts underneath the OEM parts.
      • Note: If no AutoZone parts exist, no additional information will appear.
      • To access the Map OEM/AutoZone Parts checkbox, go to the Setup shortcut >> Company Setup >> Setup tab >> Parts and Labor Source Settings.
    • If you have NOT checked Map OEM/AutoZone Parts, only OEM information will appear.
      • To see AutoZone parts information, click the AutoZone Parts button (directly below the tabs).  If there are AutoZone parts, they will now be listed underneath the OEM parts.

STEP 4: SET UP ONLINE ORDERING FOR WORLDPAC

  1. Open the WORLDPAC SpeedDIAL by clicking the WorldPAC tab in the Catalog Viewer.
    • Note: This tab will only appear if you have already set up an account with WORLDPAC and installed the WORLDPAC SpeedDIAL.

  2. Enter your User ID and Password >> Click Logon.
  3. From the WORLDPAC SpeedDIAL Home screen, click View >> Preferences.
  4. On the Logon screen that opens, CHECK the three options listed >> Click Apply >> Click Ok.
    • Remember customer number.
    • Remember password.
    • Automatically logon.
  5. Close the WORLDPAC SpeedDIAL program.
  6. WORLDPAC parts can now be ordered electronically.
     

STEP 5: UPDATE THE PRICE MATRIX SETTINGS

  1. Once a vendor has been assigned to a catalog and the credentials have been entered, the vendor is available on the Price Matrix Setup page.
  2. Follow the Price Matrix Setup instructions listed HERE.
    • Note: If the Price Matrix is NOT setup for a vendor, the Retail price on quotes, estimates and repair orders will be the manufacturer's suggested list price.
