00:00:13:17 - 00:00:14:26
In this tutorial, we'll show
00:00:14:26 - 00:00:18:29
how to set up the Connect
RFQ module, allowing storefront users
00:00:18:29 - 00:00:22:09
to request quotations
from specified matching suppliers.
00:00:23:12 - 00:00:26:24
We'll cover how to specify suppliers
and how to configure your products
00:00:26:24 - 00:00:30:04
to accept quotations.
00:00:30:14 - 00:00:33:07
To kick start this process,
we need to first navigate
00:00:33:07 - 00:00:37:01
to our connect settings screen.
00:00:37:13 - 00:00:40:01
Now, you may or may not have direct access
00:00:40:01 - 00:00:42:18
to this screen
when using your platform account.
00:00:43:03 - 00:00:47:22
If you can't gain access to this screen
and you can't follow the subsequent steps
00:00:47:22 - 00:00:51:17
in this tutorial,
then please contact our support team
00:00:51:17 - 00:00:54:16
and will ensure that
if you have the module available,
00:00:54:25 - 00:01:00:13
the Connect RFQ module
is active on your platform.
00:01:02:03 - 00:01:05:10
So we just need to make sure
that that module is activated and checked
00:01:05:21 - 00:01:08:16
and then click Save.
00:01:10:11 - 00:01:13:13
Next, we're going
to navigate to the Connect plugin screen
00:01:13:21 - 00:01:16:15
and this is where
we can actually configure the plug
00:01:16:15 - 00:01:19:14
ins that we have activated here
00:01:20:27 - 00:01:23:02
that will show you a list of available
plug ins.
00:01:23:03 - 00:01:25:28
My platform has
00:01:25:28 - 00:01:27:10
all of them, of course.
00:01:27:10 - 00:01:30:06
However, yours
will probably be a much shorter list.
00:01:30:07 - 00:01:32:24
We should contain the Connect RFQ module.
00:01:33:07 - 00:01:38:11
If you have that module available
on your license,
00:01:38:11 - 00:01:42:22
finds that row in the table
and hit configure.
00:01:44:16 - 00:01:48:16
So this page does include some
instructions on configuring your Connect
00:01:48:16 - 00:01:49:25
RFQ plugin.
00:01:49:25 - 00:01:53:20
That's what's in the section at the top,
which is general information.
00:01:55:04 - 00:01:55:28
It also includes
00:01:55:28 - 00:01:59:01
several links
to other settings areas within Infigo
00:01:59:08 - 00:02:02:06
which will need to be modified
00:02:03:02 - 00:02:05:13
now so you can get quick access
to this screen again.
00:02:05:13 - 00:02:08:22
I would recommend opening the links
in a new tab.
00:02:09:07 - 00:02:11:07
However, that's completely up to you.
00:02:11:07 - 00:02:14:07
Step one is to update the storefront
URL
00:02:16:20 - 00:02:18:01
You can also get to this setting
00:02:18:01 - 00:02:22:28
just by going directly
to the general settings area.
00:02:25:11 - 00:02:28:04
In the setting we're looking for
is the storefront URL.
00:02:28:13 - 00:02:32:18
Just make sure that the URL included in
here is an active URL
00:02:32:18 - 00:02:39:15
that's targeting the current storefront.
00:02:39:15 - 00:02:43:12
Next, you need to enable a couple of
options within the quote settings screen.
00:02:43:23 - 00:02:46:08
Again,
there's a link there that you can access.
00:02:46:19 - 00:02:49:27
Alternatively, you can type in quote
settings in your menu
00:02:50:14 - 00:02:53:10
and get to the page that way.
00:02:53:10 - 00:02:55:02
And the two settings we need to activate
00:02:55:02 - 00:02:59:13
are allow save quote
and keep quote reference when ordering.
00:02:59:14 - 00:03:08:29
So make sure those two are checked
and click save.
00:03:09:17 - 00:03:13:06
Next, there's an option we need to activate within the customer settings area.
00:03:14:11 - 00:03:15:11
So again, there's a link
00:03:15:11 - 00:03:19:04
to this or I can just type it in the menu.
00:03:19:04 - 00:03:21:22
So customer settings
00:03:23:22 - 00:03:24:02
and I'm
00:03:24:02 - 00:03:28:02
looking for an option which is called show
quote area, which is right down
00:03:28:02 - 00:03:33:07
near the bottom in an account
area section.
00:03:33:07 - 00:03:36:11
So my account general
and then we want to make sure
00:03:36:11 - 00:03:38:27
that show quote area is activated
00:03:41:12 - 00:03:50:02
and then save.
00:03:51:16 - 00:03:55:07
Now we actually need to tell the products
that we want to be able to quote for.
00:03:55:25 - 00:03:58:19
That's a quotation is required.
00:03:59:16 - 00:04:02:17
So this is done with on on
the individual products themselves.
00:04:03:21 - 00:04:07:27
For the purpose of this tutorial,
I've just created a brand new product.
00:04:08:07 - 00:04:10:29
However, you can do this
on an existing product if you wish to do
00:04:10:29 - 00:04:14:29
so, then I'm going to navigate
to the product variant settings
00:04:16:08 - 00:04:20:00
and click edit.
00:04:20:00 - 00:04:23:00
Now the separate tutorials on the product
vary in settings.
00:04:23:11 - 00:04:28:01
However, what we're looking for in
this case is about halfway down the page
00:04:29:13 - 00:04:32:10
with the info tab selected, and I'm
00:04:32:10 - 00:04:35:16
just going to click this option here
which says require quote
00:04:39:09 - 00:04:41:23
and then save.
00:04:41:23 - 00:04:45:17
So the next thing we need to do is to add
and configure some suppliers
00:04:45:25 - 00:04:49:15
who are going to receive these requests
for quotations.
00:04:49:27 - 00:04:53:00
We do this on a separate page,
which is called suppliers,
00:04:54:06 - 00:04:57:07
so we can navigate to that.
00:04:57:07 - 00:04:58:05
You'll see in my case
00:04:58:05 - 00:05:01:18
that I've got a couple of example ones
specified here already.
00:05:01:26 - 00:05:04:21
However,
we can specify multiple suppliers in here,
00:05:04:21 - 00:05:06:20
as many as we like to do
00:05:07:27 - 00:05:10:20
so to specify a new supplier,
I can go to add new
00:05:11:12 - 00:05:13:16
and then I just need to fill
in those supply
00:05:13:21 - 00:05:17:12
details.
00:05:21:03 - 00:05:23:06
and that supply will now
be added to the list.
00:05:24:17 - 00:05:28:21
And the final thing we need to do
here is to actually determine
00:05:29:12 - 00:05:33:20
which requests for quotations
that that supplier will actually receive.
00:05:34:01 - 00:05:36:22
And that is done via mapping.
00:05:36:22 - 00:05:40:03
So if you click on the little plus icon
next to a supplier that you've added,
00:05:40:14 - 00:05:44:15
the secondary table will appear,
which is mapping information,
00:05:45:18 - 00:05:48:18
and then you can just click on
Add New to add new mapping data.
00:05:50:10 - 00:05:52:23
But what you're doing in here
is just specifying
00:05:53:20 - 00:05:58:22
the conditions under which this supplier
will be asked to quote.
00:05:59:13 - 00:06:02:14
So it could be an individual product
that you're linking it to.
00:06:02:14 - 00:06:08:17
It could be a product tag, a category,
a customer role, a country.
00:06:08:26 - 00:06:11:19
There's so many different
ways that you can assign
00:06:13:02 - 00:06:16:00
a mapping to our suppliers.
00:06:16:02 - 00:06:18:13
In this case,
I'm going to keep it nice and simple
00:06:19:14 - 00:06:27:17
so I can just go for a specific product,
type in the name,
00:06:29:04 - 00:06:32:22
and then save.
00:06:32:22 - 00:06:34:19
And that mapping will now be applied.
00:06:34:19 - 00:06:36:12
And you can add as many mappings
00:06:36:12 - 00:06:39:04
as you like to a supplier
so you're not limited to one.
00:06:39:17 - 00:06:40:28
If there's different categories,
00:06:40:28 - 00:06:44:25
you want them to be associated
with different products and so on.
00:06:45:07 - 00:06:48:13
You can assign as many mappings
as you like, and that's it.
00:06:49:19 - 00:06:54:27
The fundamentals of the Connect RFQ module
have now been applied to our storefront.
00:06:55:14 - 00:06:59:00
In subsequent tutorials in this series,
we'll look at some more
00:06:59:00 - 00:07:03:23
in-depth settings in this module
and how to actually utilize it.
