Supplier eLink Setup Guide

Supplier e-Link provides the ability to integrate with web services made available from seed and chemical suppliers who have followed industry-driven standards and guidelines for this type of e-commerce communication. These web services make it easier to report the sale and receipt of products by allowing product attributes and delivery notifications to be imported and Invoice information for specific program stewardship requirements to be exported.

Note: Agvance refers to suppliers as Vendors. Throughout this document, any reference to a supplier is considered a vendor within Agvance.

Requirements

To use the web services, the B2B (Business to Business) Setup must be installed and set up as a shortcut on the machine using the web services. Agvance Accounting must also be installed and activated on the machine running the B2B Setup.

Creating the B2B Setup Shortcut

The B2B Setup program is used to complete the necessary communication configuration for the web services, such as the web URLs and cross-referencing information.

1. Right-click on the desktop and choose New / Shortcut.
2. In the Create Shortcut window, select Browse. Find the B2BConfg.exe file inside the Agvance Program Files and choose Next.
3. In the Select a Title for the Program window, name the shortcut B2B Setup, and select Finish. After creating the shortcut, edit the new icon Properties, and change the Start In path to point to the Agvance data directory.

The B2B Setup shortcut is used after some initial setup within Agvance has been completed.

Attributes and Classifications

Attributes allow specific characteristics to be added to a product, customer, supplier, etc. These must be created before using the supplier web services in Agvance. Classifications allow like items, such as seed products, to be grouped and must be created before using the supplier web services in Agvance

Setting Up the Product Attribute

1. In the Agvance Hub, select Setup / Company Preferences. On the Product tab, select Product Attributes.
2. On the Select a Product Attribute window, choose Add to add product attributes with the names UOM and Product UPC. Do not enter a Maximum Length and leave the Disallow Duplicates and Required options unchecked. These attributes are used to store the manufacturer’s unit of measure and the reporting UPC for the product.
   Note: If utilizing Crop Protection connectivity, an attribute of Winfield ID must also be added.

Setting Up the Product Classification

1. Add a product classification to group the web service products. When exporting Invoices through Agvance, select this classification of products to be included in the export.
2. In the Agvance Hub, select Setup / Company Preferences. On the Product tab, select Product Classifications.
3. On the Product Classification Setup window, choose Add to add a new product classification.
4. On the Add Product Classification window, type the name of the classification in the Name field. Add the list of products to include in this classification by double-clicking on the Product Name heading and selecting products from the Select Products window. Repeat this process for any supplier utilizing web services.

Setting Up Customer Attributes

1. In the Agvance Hub, select Setup / Company Preferences. On the Customer tab, choose Customer Attributes.
2. Using the Add an Attribute window, add an attribute named GLN with no Maximum Length.
3. When setting up the My Dealer Bucket customer’s GLN, add the below values for the appropriate Supplier’s Dealer Bucket:

   Supplier	Dealer Bucket GLN Value
   Bayer	1100064726737
   Winfield	1100071465179
   Corteva	1100072805042
   Syngenta	1100074871328

Setting Up Vendor Attributes

1. In Agvance Accounting, select Setup / Preferences. On the A/P tab, choose Vendor Attributes.
2. Using the Add an Attribute window, add an attribute called AGIIS-EBID with no Maximum Length. A company’s EBID number (eBusiness Identification Number) is their identification number in the industry.
   Note: If using EDNs with Corteva and Syngenta, an attribute named EDN AGIIS-EBID must be created.

Adding Attribute Values for Suppliers

1. Navigate to Accounting / File / Open / Vendors and edit the supplier in Agvance that is providing the web service.
2. On the Profile tab, select Attributes to add the supplier’s EBID number in the Attribute Value column for the AGIIS-EBID attribute. Suppliers may require two attributes to be set up depending on the type of messages that will be communicated. The following table displays the EBID numbers for Bayer CropScience, Winfield, Syngenta, and Corteva.

   Supplier	EBIDNumber
   Bayer CropScience	0062668030000
