How to Perform a Manual Vendor Price Update

  1. Contact Adatasol Inc. at 1-888-281-3303 to request a manual download of the updates that you can perform on a separate computer.

    Adatasol Inc. will send you an email message with a download link and instructions.

  2. Download the Vendor.zip file as per the instructions in the email.

  3. Copy the Vendor.zip file to a removable USB drive.

  4. Connect and open the USB drive on your FrameReady computer.

    If you are networking FrameReady to multiple computers, then make sure you are on the host computer. If you are using FileMaker Server, then Manual Vendor Updates are not supported.

  5. Extract the Vendor.zip file to your Desktop.

    A new folder, named Vendors, is created.

  6. Right-click the Vendors folder on the Desktop and select Copy.

  7. Navigate to your current FrameReady folder.

    The Windows default location is C:\SoftTouch Solutions\FrameReady ##

    The Macintosh default location is Applications\FrameReady ##

    You should see a list of files (Art_Resource, Contacts, etc.).  

  8. Go to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and select Paste.

    If you do not see the Edit menu, press the Alt key on your keyboard (Win7/Vista).

  9. Re-open FrameReady if it is not already open.

  10. On the Main Menu, in the Price Codes section, click the Update Vendor Pricing button (bottom right corner).

    The update vendors screen appears. By default, you will be presented with a
    list of your installed vendors.

    If you wish to add a vendor, please see the New Vendor section.

  11. Any Vendor with an available update is marked with an “X”. Single-click the vendor you wish to update.

    Alternately, you can click the New Updates tab to display only the installed vendors that require an update.

    You will be given the option to Proceed, Cancel or Analyse.  

  12. Click Proceed.

  13. If the update contains new moulding, then you will be asked to import them (click Import) and select the preferred method of pricing (click Join, Chop or Length).

  14. If there are any items for the vendor, which are no longer in the update file, then you will be asked if you wish to mark these items as Not Verified. Click Yes.

    These items may be discontinued. Always check with your sales rep before discarding corner samples or deleting discontinued items from your Price Codes file.

  15. When the process is complete, a message appears that the update is complete. Return to the Vendor Update screen and update the next vendor.
