Customer interface (company administrator)

The Customer interface gives you the option of receiving an order confirmation via email or to import the order to your ERP system.

In this case, please save the respective creditor numbers in the Company data section. In order to receive the confirmation for information only, choose the "Read-only format".

If you wish to import the order into your ERP system, you can choose between the following formats:

• OpenTrans Version 1.0
• ASCII Format
• ASCII V1.0.1
• ASCII V2.0
• ASCII V4.0
• ASCII V5.0
• Read-only format

You can set the transmission way via email or SCP by yourself. Furthermore we offer FTP/SFTP as well as AS2 (rfc-4130) upon request.
Besides this we offer a standard solution for the integration of various ERP systems, the simple system Cockpit. Please contact us for more information.

Option 1 - Input data from order confirmation email

The customer receives an email containing information about their shopping cart for each order. One email is sent for each supplier in a shopping cart. The email address which receives the email and the format of the email can be set by the customer in Administration ("Customer interface"). The customer can choose between read-only text, ASCII format (order details are separated by lines and primes) or OpenTrans (XML). Documentation about the formats can be found in the Administration under "Help". The customer can now use one of the two machine-readable formats (ASCII, OpenTrans) to import the order into their system upon receipt of the email.

After receiving the order, simple system transmits the order data to the ERP system of the customer, where the purchase requisition is created. The triggered order will be transmitted electronically via simple system to the supplier.
