Introduction
The Vendor Wizard is part of the ObjectNet iShopping Wizard suites. It enables vendors to process, confirm and print customers purchase orders.
It also provides data integration to vendor's database by exporting and downloading records to vendor's machine. Vendors don't need to change existing database and data processing procedure in order to implement ObjectNet iShopping Wizard.
Its workflow is simple and the interface is intuitive. It only requires the knowlege of using Mouse device.
Login
Unlike Shopper Wizard which is openly available to the shoppers, the Vendor Wizard is accessable to vendors only.
The vendor must login into Vendor Wizard in order to process PO because each vendor has his or her own database. It requires 2 passwords to login.
The system will lock the login to prevent intrudor hacking in if several login attempts fail, this means that no one can use your program without calling ObjectNet to reset it.
