The AQ API Screens allow you to pull the data directly from AQ. This saves the need for moving files around, but does require upkeep/management before you can run the update.
This guide assumes your inventory is properly setup and linked with AQ.
Please see the AQ Sync Troubleshooting guide if you are having issues seeing your manufacturers or items.
Updating Last Updated Date / Manufacturer List
To start, you will need to use the “Download” button on the API>Auto Quotes>Manufacturers screen. This replaces what you would run in the DBA Admin screen.
Update Manufacturer Data
After updating the Manufacturer header data, we still need to sync the Manufacturers with updated items.
Under API>Auto Quotes>Product Console, it lists of your MFG’s. Hit the “Download” button on any you want to update. This replaces the “AQ API” button after Syncing in the old method.
This may take a few minutes, so if it is spinning, just let it run. If you start clicking, it may seem like the page froze, but it is likely still running.
Once it says it finished, the prices should be up-to-date.
Updating Pricing
From here, use the “Sync” button to open the update screen. This works the same as the previous version.
