eCommerce Sites

Deacom's eCommerce section allows customers to utilize B2B and B2C sites, import orders into the main application, process orders using credit cards, and generate reports for the customer. eCommerce sites allow customers 24/7 access to company information, the ability to place orders, and an overall faster buying and selling process. The main eCommerce Sites form displays all Sites set up, the associated Website URL, and an active status.

System Navigation

Tools > Maintenance > eCommerce Sites

Edit eCommerce Site form

The setup of an eCommerce Site is split between multiple tabs including tabs to store general information, user profiles, saleable parts, etc.

Main toolbar

Field/Button	Description
Publish All	When clicked, will take all changes made to the individual tabs and push them to the Site itself. For example, if a new user is setup on the Users tab and pages are configured on the Pages tab, clicking the "Publish All" button will push all changes to the Site. Each tab aside from the General tab also have their own "Publish" buttons, so if changes made to one tab but not all should take effect, use the "Publish" button on the individual tabs instead of the main toolbar's "Publish All" button.
View Docs	Option to add images or documents to the eCommerce site. These images or documents can then be synced to the eCommerce website via the "Sync Documents To eCommerce Server" flag on the General tab of the Edit eCommerce Site form.
Test Connection	If clicked, tests for a valid connection between the database server and database indicated on the General tab. The connection test is successful if that user is able to connect and all of the expected tables with the correct table structure are present.
View Sync Tables	When clicked, displays the eCommerce Sync Tables form. This form allows users to sync individual tables or all tables as well as all records in the selected tables or only records that have been added or modified. Additional information on the eCommerce Sync Tables form is available in the section below.

eCommerce Sync Tables form

This form is accessed via the "View Sync Tables" button on the main toolbar and displays the Deacomtables available to the eCommerce database along with the last sync date and time. The form is used to sync records from the Deacomdatabase to the eCommerce database.

Field	Description
Set All To Yes	Click to have "Yes" displayed in the Selected column for all tables. Double clicking an individual table name allows users to toggle between "Yes" or "No".
Set All To No	Click to have "No" displayed in the Selected column for all tables. Double clicking an individual table name allows users to toggle between "Yes" or "No".
Publish Modified	If clicked, only records in the selected tables that have been added or modified since the last sync will be synced to the eCommerce database. This option can be used to save time when syncing tables containing a large number of records.
Publish All	If clicked, all records in the selected tables will be synced to the eCommerce database regardless of when the last sync occurred. This option is useful to ensure 1-to-1 parity between tables in the main and eCommerce applications. If a new table is made available to the eCommerce database, this button can be used to sync the table regardless if new records have been added or modified in the table.

General Tab

Field	Description
Name	Name of the eCommerce Site.
Website	URL for the Site, which must include "http://" or "https://".

Options are: Approved - If selected, users who register on the eCommerce site will have the "Login Approved" flag checked automatically on their User profile, accessed via the Edit eCommerce User form. Not Approved - If selected, users who register on the eCommerce site will have to be manually reviewed and have their "Login Approved" flag checked before logging in to the site.
Session Expiration	Determines, in minutes, when an eCommerce session will expire if no activity has occurred. Default time is 5 minutes. When an eCommerce user account has gone idle for longer than the Session Expiration value on the CMS Site Settings, the user will be sent a reminder email about the unpurchased items in their cart. This only occurs if the user has opted into Cart Reminder Emails. The email template sent to the user is configurable in the CMS Site Settings.
MRP Refresh Minutes	Determines, in minutes, how frequently Instant MRP reports will be run to update the "Onhand Quantity" field on the Edit Saleable Part form located on the eCommerce Products tab. The maximum value allowed is 999. The value in the "Onhand Quantity" field is only calculated if an item is selected in the "Part Number" field on the Edit Saleable Part form. The system will run an Instant MRP report for each Facility with the "Include in eCommerce Inventory" flag checked, and tally the results for the item indicated in the "Part Number" field.
MRP Pre-Filter	Sets a pre-defined Time-Phased MRP pre-filter template to be used when MRP reports are generated via Item/Getting Inventory Labels in eCommerce. Pre-filter templates are created using the "Settings" button on the pre-filter with all desired fields completed. The pre-filter template must be saved for "All Users". If no selection is made in this field, the system will run an Instant MRP report, using the default of 6 buckets with the bucket type of "Weeks".
Product Document Category	Option to have documents with the selected Document Category pulled into the eCommerce application when the GetImage API is called. Designed to allow image documents that are assigned to Item Master records to be added to eCommerce sites. Image documents are added via the "View Docs" button on the Item Master record.
Temp Password Email

Maximum Cart Value	Indicates the total dollar amount limit for a single purchase (for any/all users) on the eCommerce site. This field prevents items from being added to the cart if they would cause the total dollar value of the purchase to exceed the value of the field. Additionally, checkout calls are prevented if the maximum dollar value is exceeded. Added in version 16.04.127.
Active	If checked, this record is active. Only active records may be used in the system.
Generate Site Map	If checked, opens the "Site Map Path" field where users can specify the location of the site map. When the user hits the "Publish All" button, Deacomwill generate a site map and store it in the location specified in the "Site Map Path" field. The site map file will be an xml with the naming convention of dxcmssite.cs_name + ' Site Map ' + Date(MMDDYY) + TIME (999999).xml. If the "Site Map Path" field is empty or not able to be navigated to, the system will display the "Invalid Site Map Path" prompt and will not save the form.
Allow User Registration	This box must be checked in order for users to register themselves.
Allow Cart Without Registration	Check to allow users to make a cart in the eCommerce application without first registering as a user. If unchecked, users cannot create a cart without registering as a user.
Create Contact Upon Registration	If checked, when a user registers on the site and creates a Bill-to/Ship-to, a contact is created and linked.
Require Security Questions	Determines if security questions will be required when users login to eCommerce sites. This field is checked by default. Additional information on the security questions option is available via the Managing Authentication Methods page.
Require Number In User Password	Check to enforce the use of at least 1 number when a user creates a password on eCommerce Sites. When this box is checked, the following alert message will be displayed to the user: "Password must include at least 1 number." If users attempt to enter a password without a number they will be prompted. If the "Require Symbol In User Password" field is checked, the user will receive an alert message that both a number and symbol are required.
Require Symbol In User Password	Check to enforce the use of at least one symbol when a user creates a password on eCommerce Sites. When this box is checked, the following alert message will be displayed to the user: "Password must include at least 1 special character." If users attempt to enter a password without a special character they will be prompted. If the "Require Number In User Password" field is checked, the user will receive an alert message that both a number and symbol are required. Any symbol on the standard keyboard, such as !@#$%^&*()-_=+\|\{}[];:'"<>,.?/~` may be used when creating a password.
Sync Documents To eCommerce Server	If checked, documents or images attached to the eCommerce site or item master records defined as saleable on the site will be synced to the eCommerce website. This results in a physical copy of the image or document being saved directly to the website which allows for quick retrieval and display. Images are attached to the eCommerce site and item master records via the "View Docs" button on the toolbars of the Edit eCommerce Site and Edit Item Master forms respectively. Users define which items or categories/sub-categories of items are saleable on the eCommerce site via the eCommerce Products tab.
Log API Calls	If checked, allows eCommerce API calls to be logged to the Microsoft Windows Event Viewer. Useful for diagnosing session issues, such as when carts and users are no longer recognized by the session. Example of logged API call: -API call made: Cart/AddTo -IP Address: 127.0.1.1 -SiteID: 3 -SessionID: aff57abab5c649589a70aff4899db32d -Ecommerce User ID: 2095 -Cart ID: 3086
Use EasyPost For Shipping Rates	If checked, the EasyPost API will be used to calculate shipping rates in the DeacomeCommerce application.
Use MRP For On Hand Quantities	If checked, the On Hand eCommerce inventory is checked to ensure sufficient quantity exists before allowing a customer to add an item to the cart or check out. (An error is thrown if quantity is not sufficient.) This is the default behavior and therefore this box is checked by default. If unchecked, the system will not perform an On Hand check. This allows items to be added to the cart and purchased regardless of quantity available. Useful in scenarios where companies want to know what the customers want so they can be sure to have it next time. To do this they need to have the items on the order, but not fulfill them.
