Set up your customers' login settings before they access your B2B Commerce web site or Eclipse system for the first time. Because you use Customer Maintenance settings, you already have control over each customer's pricing, ship via, credit terms, and so on. You can also control how much of your inventory displays to the customer. For more information, see Controlling Product Inventory.
To set up a customer for B2B Commerce:
From the Maintenance menu, select Customer to display the Customer Maintenance window.
From the Orders menu, select Remote Order Entry Parameters to display the Remote Order Entry Parameters window.
From the Edit menu, select WOE Information to display the B2B/WOE Remote Order Entry Parameters window.
In the B2B WOE Password field, enter the password you want your customer to use.
Note: If you run the Web Commerce companion product, the password you enter in this field is also used for your customer's access to your web site.
In the B2B Post URL fields, enter the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for posting billing files for the transactions listed. These URLs are the web addresses where you send the customer's billing information, such as invoices. The system uses the default URL for any document that does not have a specific URL indicated.
Save your changes and return to the Customer Maintenance window.
Make note of the customer number, which displays in the lower left corner of the Customer Maintenance window.
Provide the password and customer number to your customer, so they can use those login settings when they set up their own software.
