Requirements

Though we are using our Generic sync, there are some requirements specific to EZ Links.

EZ Links must install and schedule their import/export utility.

EZ Links will need to provide the file path they are writing the sales data to and a preferred file path to pickup the item files.

Yellow Dog Requirements

We will need a list of all EZ Links Revenue Center names and numbers.

All items in Yellow Dog must have Manufacturers set in order for EZ Links to successfully import item data.

When creating new items, Manufacturers must be set.
