Define vendor information in dispatcherPO

Open the dispatcherPO_config.xml file with a text editor.

Find the vendortemplate group of elements, which looks similar to this:


                <vendor id="xxxx-YYYYYYYYYY" serviceName="vendorTemplate"> 
<setting id="postToServer" value="Vendor_Server:Port_reference_goes_here"/> 
<setting id="postToService" value="Vendor_WebProgram_reference_goes_here"/> 
<setting id="notificationEmailAddress" value="your.SysAdmin.email@mail.com"/> 
<setting name="To" id="DUNS" value=""/> 
<setting name="From" id="NetworkId" value=""/> <!-- "Sender" and "From" values are often the same --> 
<setting name="Sender" id="NetworkId" value=""/> 
<setting name="password" id="SharedSecret" value="yourAgreedUponSecret"/> 
<setting id="deploymentMode" value="test"></setting> <!-- "production" or "test" --> 
</vendor>

Using the information provided by the vendor, edit these settings:

Vendor, id="xxxx-YYYYYYYYYY" Replace xxxx with a company number; YYYYYYYYYY with the Vendor number. Do not embed spaces.
Vendor, serviceName= Specify a descriptive label for this vendor
Setting, id="postToURL", value=Specify the URL of the Punchout site. This is provided by the vendor.
Setting, id="notificationEmailAddress" value=Specify the valid email address of the individual(s) who are tasked with monitoring ProcessFlow. The address(es) specified will get emails regarding processing failures.
Setting, name="To", id=DUNS | NetworkId, value=Specify your specific identification here. Often, this is a value agreed upon between customer and vendor. If a DUNS number, then specify "DUNS" for the "id=" value; otherwise, specify "NetworkId".
Setting "name="From", id=DUNS | NetworkId, value=Specify your specific identification here. Often, this is a value agreed upon between customer and vendor. If a DUNS number, then specify "DUNS" for the "id=" value; otherwise, specify "NetworkId".
Setting, name="Sender", id=DUNS | NetworkId, value=Specify your specific identification here. Often, this is a value agreed upon between customer and vendor. If a DUNS number, then specify "DUNS" for the "id=" value; otherwise, specify "NetworkId".
Setting, name="password", id="SharedSecret", value= Specify the value agreed upon by customer and vendor.
Setting, name="deploymentMode", value= Specify "test" or "production" as applicable.

Repeat these steps for each vendor you are punching out to.

Save and close the file.
