Stihl Parts Order Download

Use the Stihl Parts Order Download interface to configure parts order download settings and download parts orders. Canadian dealers download orders as an XML file from the Parts Order screen. United States dealers configure Stihl vendors on the Vendors tab and download orders as CSV files from the Vendor Parts Order and Consolidated Parts Order screens.

To open the Stihl Parts Order Download screen, navigate to Configuration > Interfaces > Other > Stihl Parts Order Download.

Note:  This screen is available when feature 6235 - Stihl Parts Order Download (Canada) and/or feature 6438 - Stihl Parts Order Download (USA) is licensed.

Topics in this section include:

Configuration Tabs

Tabs on the Stihl Parts Order Download screen depend on licensed features:

  • Bill-To Number and Ship Via Methods — feature 6235 (Canada)

  • Vendors — feature 6438 (USA)

When both features are licensed, all three tabs appear and Bill-To Number is the default tab. When only feature 6438 is licensed, only the Vendors tab appears.

Bill-To Number

Note:  The Bill-To Number tab is available when feature 6235 is licensed.

The Bill-To Number defaults to the last previous entry if one is not provided. Click Save to store the selected bill-to number.

Ship Via Methods

Note:  The Ship Via Methods tab is available when feature 6235 is licensed.

Use the Ship Via Methods tab to maintain shipment methods available when downloading Stihl parts orders. The grid lists each configured shipment method. Click Create to add a shipment method, enter values in the grid, and click Save on the row to store your changes. Click Delete on a row to remove a shipment method.

The fields on the Ship Via Methods tab are:

Field Description
Shipment Method Code The code that identifies the shipment method.
Shipment Method Description The description displayed for the shipment method when downloading a parts order.

Vendors

Note:  The Vendors tab is available when feature 6438 is licensed.

Use the Vendors tab to assign the Stihl manufacturer code to United States vendors that are eligible for Stihl parts order CSV export. The tab displays vendors that are active, located in the United States, and have Stihl set as the manufacturer code.

If no vendors appear, click Select Vendor to open a vendor selection window, search for a vendor, and double-click the vendor to assign the Stihl manufacturer code. After the assignment is saved, the vendor appears on the main grid when it meets the United States, Stihl, and active criteria. Use the Vendor Profile screen to verify the manufacturer code on a vendor record.

On the main grid and in the Select Vendor window, the Country field is fixed to US and cannot be changed.

The filter fields on the Vendors tab are:

Field Description
Search Search by vendor sequence number.
Vendor Number Search by vendor number.
Name Search by vendor name.
Address Search by vendor address.
Country Fixed to US. This field is disabled.
Postal Code Search by postal code.
