Overview

For the AQ API Update Procedure, See AQ API Update Procedure

The FEDA 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 FEDA.

Please see the AQ Sync Troubleshooting guide if you are having issues seeing your manufacturers or items.

Detail

Manage Manufacturers

On the Manufacturers screen, API>FEDA>Manufacturers, you will need to set a few things for the Manufacturers.

  1. Mfr Number - Fill in the Manufacturer number in TRX

  2. Product Prefix - Will load when you have a Manufacturer entered. Change if products are different

  3. Category Discounts - This button will allow you to set the discount by Category in a popup

  4. Mfr Discount - Set the discount for the Manufacturer

  5. Hide - For any Manufacturers you aren’t using, check this to remove clutter

    1. Show Hidden - Use this checkbox to see hidden Manufacturers

Updating Last Updated Date / Manufacturer List

To start, you will need to use the “Download” button on the API>FEDA>Manufacturers screen. This replaces what you would run in the DBA Admin screen for the old AQ interface.

Update Manufacturer Data

After updating the Manufacturer header data, we still need to sync the Manufacturers with updated items.

Under API>FEDA>Product Console, it lists of your MFG’s. Hit the “Download” button on any you want to update.

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 Old AQ Sync screen.
