Overview of the Abbey Assist Program
The Abbey Assist program offers three basic tools for Abbey dealers.
- The ability to import product information supplied by Abbey Corporate into your RFMS product file.
- A function that allows you to match the approved vendor information required by Abbey Corporate to your manufacturer information in RFMS.
- Required manufacturer purchasing information can be exported into a data file that can be E-mailed for reporting to Abbey Corporate.
Abbey Assist - Set the Order Entry Switch
This step is necessary to ensure that your manufacturer names will always be consistent (spelling, etc.) After a few times running the consistent manufacturer utility for the Purchase report, you manufacturer file should contain only matching names.
Manufacturer from Manufacturer File Only (Products, Inventory and Purchase Orders) - System Option
Set this option to yes to prevent free form manual typing into the Manufacturer name field when entering Products, Inventory or Purchase Order records. If this option is set to yes, the data entry person is required to press F8to bring in the Manufacturer name from the established Manufacturer file. Data name consistency is important for reporting and electronic file importing purposes.
To access, you would open your RFMS directory (right click on shortcut > select open file location) > Double click the abassist.exe file > Select File Import Products (to view the Vendors) > Exit (to view/insert Vendors and zone pricing).
