Testing sending contracts to the Web

You must set up a test customer before you can do this step.

  1. Create a contract in Readysell 8 for ONLY the Test Customer you have set up in Readysell 8.
  2. Run the task Office Brands Sync to send up the contract to the web for the test customer.
  3. Open up Web Admin using the logon details for the site (the logon details is stored in the customer's Recon under WebSphere entry of the Logins tab).
    • Going into Web Admin helps to check that the action of sending is working from Readysell's point of view.  Changes are sent through automatically to web admin for product uploads, price uploads and contract uploads.  If they show on web admin, then Readysell's side of integration has worked.
