PRICAT Integration Setup

The PRICAT Integration must be set up to import Kramp parts price catalogs and prepare them for processing. Afterwards, you can import catalog files coming from Kramp.

To achieve this, the following setups must be completed:

• Basic Setup
• Mapping Setup
• Job queue setup

Basic Setup

First, the basic interface setup must be performed. Please proceed as follows:

• Open the Interface List page in TRASER DMS 365 and select the PRICAT entry.
• In the General FastTab:
  • Keep the Interface Log toggle switch deactivated as no log is created or needed.
• In the Parameters FastTab, enter the following information in the Value field to prepare the interface:
  • AzureContainername: Enter the Azure Blob Storage container name used to download the PRICAT price file.
    If you need help creating an ABS container or finding the correct values, kindly contact your TRASER Software GmbH representative for help.
  • AzureSharedAccesskey: Enter the Shared Access Key of the defined Azure Blob Storage account.
    If you need help creating an ABS container or finding the correct values, kindly contact your TRASER Software GmbH representative for help.
  • AzureStorageAccount: Enter the Azure Blob Storage account used to download the PRICAT price file.
    If you need help creating an ABS container or finding the correct values, kindly contact your TRASER Software GmbH representative for help.
  • CatalogCode: Select the specific catalog code that will manage the Kramp PRICAT import.
    If no Kramp catalog is available yet, create it as described here.

When all requirements are met (green or grey values in the Parameters FastTab), users can enable the interface via the Activate Interface button of the PRICAT Integration Interface Card.

Please proceed with the Mapping Setup section.

Mapping Setup

To correctly assign all parameters from the Kramp catalog file, the individual values must be mapped to the values used by the dealer in TRASER DMS 365. Please proceed as follows:

• Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the Catalogs page.
• Open your catalog used for KRAMP.
• In the open catalog card, click on Excel > Import PRICAT Excel in the menu bar.
• Proceed with step 2 from these instructions.
• Check all the values as described here and complete all required mappings in the Mapping FastTab.

Please proceed with the Job queue setup section.

Job queue setup

This job queue is used to automatically download the PRICAT CSV file from the Azure Blob Storage account defined here to prepare the catalog import. It is automatically created during the basic setup, so it is not necessary to create it manually. When activating the PRICAT Integration, a notification is displayed from where the job queue could be opened directly, if necessary.

In case the job queue was changed or reset, please follow below instructions to recreate the recommended settings:

• Open the Job Queue Entries page in TRASER DMS 365 using the search (ALT+Q).
• Click on the New button to create a new job queue entry.
• In the General FastTab of the Job Queue Entry Card, do the following:
  • In the Object Type to Run field, select the Codeunit value.
  • In the Object ID to Run field, select the 70010 value.
  • Optional In the Description field, enter a unique job queue description, if needed, e.g., Kramp PRICAT Import.
  • Optional In the Earliest Start Date/Time field, enter the date and time the job queue should run the next time. If no value is selected, the job queue will run as soon as Status = Ready.
• In the Recurrence FastTab of the Job Queue Entry Card, do the following:
  • Activate the toggle switches for all weekdays.
  • In the Starting Time field, select a time after the usual business hours, so that the PRICAT catalog can be prepared for the next day without interfering daily business.
    Recommended value: 18:00:00 (06:00:00 PM).
  • In the Ending Time field, select a time before the usual business hours, so that the updated PRICAT catalog can be manually imported first thing in the morning.
    Recommended value: 06:00:00 (06:00:00 AM)
  • In the No. of Minutes between Runs field, enter a value which suits your processes best. We recommend a value between 480 and 720 as the job queue is supposed to run only once.

The job queue entry is finished and has Status = On Hold.

Please proceed with the Product Information Setup.
