Vendors/Supplier Connectivity

Faxing and emailing of documents produced by DSTWare can be performed directly from any authorized device on the system without any manual intervention. This optional feature will support the domestic faxing of:

• Quotes
• Invoices
• Statements
• Reprints of invoices
• Purchase orders

There are several methods available to you to communicate your purchasing requirements:

1. Transmissions to Transnet are a function of the DSTWare Purchase Order Module. Once the P.O. is complete, it can be automatically transmitted to any of the vendors that participate in the M.E.M.A.Transnet program.
2. Receiving Activant-format orders can be performed by DSTWare to automatically accept stock orders from Activant (and other systems that use that format) and create customer orders in the DSTWare Customer Order Management module.
3. HDX is an industry standard for purchase orders, data exchange and Vendor Managed Inventory or VMI. You can send orders through to suppliers regardless of the “VAN”(Value Added Network) or communication service that they use.
4. Group specific or custom transmissions of orders is another option. For those companies who belong to HDA or Vipar, purchase orders may be transmitted directly in their defined formats. Custom links and requested X.12 EDI are also available. DST has developed many custom communication links to other systems and for the transfer of data between decentralized processors within the same organization.
