Vendor Alliance Activation Process

Vendor Alliance Activation Process

Once the Account Number has been added to the appropriate Vendor, within Vendor Alliance Module, the Status on the Configured Vendors Column will initially read Processing New Vendor.


After the FOSVendorSyncService has ran and updated on the server the Status will change to Waiting for Vendor Reply.


If the Status does not change there could be an issue with the setup of the FOSVendorSyncService on the server or the FOSVendorSyncService may not be running on the server. If this problem persists contact Tech Support for additional troubleshooting.
The last step is for the Vendor to send the "Activation Message" to FOS. Once the activation message has been sent the status will display Active.
