Configuration - BQUPON

The general configuration settings for the BusinessPlus side of Bid Online are made through the Bid/Quote Management (BQ) Configuration (BQUPON) page. One record should be created for each entity and ledger that will be communicating with the Bid Online server.

Entity: Enter the entity code that was defined on the BQEN/Entity common code.

Ledger: Choose the actual ledger code that users will be signed into when working with Bid Online. A value of @@ does not apply here.

Server URL: Enter the base URL for the Bid Online server.

Commodity Type: Choose the type of commodity codes this entity/ledger will use. Current options are NIGP or UNSPSC. This setting must correspond to the actual codes loaded in an upcoming step.

Code Prefix: When commodity codes are loaded into the Person/Entity database, you may choose to prefix them with up to eight characters. This can be useful when the NIGP or UNSPSC codes overlap with existing codes.

PEID Seed: Enter the name of the system seed to be used when Bid Online creates PEIDs. If no seed name is entered here, then the system will not create PEIDs and bid responses from those vendors cannot be imported. Seed values are defined in NU Common Codes, with a Category/Value of SYNO/<seed name>.

Owner ID: Enter the owner ID code to be placed in the Security Code field on Person/Entity IDs created by Bid Online. Owner IDs available in the drop-down list are defined in NU Common Codes, with a Category/Value of PEOW/X (where X is the value of the Owner ID up to eight characters). Owner IDs are assigned to a PEID in the PE database in the PE Information (PEUPPE) page, Security Cd. Field.

Bid, Order, Payment Address Codes: Choose the appropriate address code to be assigned to each address created by Bid Online.

Phone & Fax Codes: Choose the appropriate phone codes to be assigned to each phone number when PEIDs are created by Bid Online.

BQEN/[Entity] Common Code

Enter Entity name in the Short Description field. The Medium Description entered will echo where used. This entity code also needs to be defined in BQ Entity Definition (BQBOEN).
