John Deere: Equipment Upload Configuration

The John Deere Sales Center (JDSC) Equipment Upload allows the dealer to use the data from an upload to create customer quotes in the John Deere Quote system.

First, you must first do an initial transmission of all equipment records using the Transmit option. After the initial transmission of all equipment records, the IntelliDealer interface continues to transmit changes to Equipment Profile records to the John Deere Sales Center website every five minutes.

You can access the Equipment Upload screen from Configuration > Interfaces > John Deere > Equipment Upload.

Equipment Upload Tab

The currency used on equipment units is pulled from the Company options on the System Settings: Company screen in which the equipment unit is located.

The fields on the Equipment Upload tab are:

Field Description
Owner Account

The John Deere dealership account number. This field is automatically filled in with a default value, but you can change it if it is incorrect.

Note:  If you change this field from the default and have previously transmitted, select the Transmit All Inventory checkbox, click Save, then click Transmit. It can take some time for this process to complete, depending on how many records you need to transmit.

Category

Use the drop down to select. The values in these fields are defined by John Deere. Consult John Deere for details.

Subcategory
Sales Book Value

Use the drop down to select, where None indicates to use the default Sales Center pricing values. Consult John Deere for details.

Best Selling Price

  • Price and Cost

Note:  If you change this setting, enable the Transmit All Inventory checkbox, click Save, then click Transmit. This can take some time depending on how many records you need to transmit.

Transmit All Equipment Identifiers If selected, IntelliDealer transmits all equipment that has a equipment identifier loaded and everything included based on the other tabs.
Transmit All Inventory

If selected, IntelliDealer transmits all current inventory and any invoiced equipment records in the past 60 days, that matches the search criteria.

Tip: Select this option if you have saved any configuration changes that you want to apply. This updates all of your current inventory and the invoiced equipment records from the past 60 days.

Last Updated

Indicates the last time the Transmit All Inventory was run.

If Last Updated is blank, it indicates that Transmit All Inventory has never been run. If so, click the Transmit button to send all equipment records to Sales Center because this initial transmission of inventory must be run first before the nightly updates occur.
