Quick Cross References

Adding Missing Product Information

If on the VendorBridge homepage you receive a message that states “You are missing information for # product(s)”, as shown below, you can use these steps to quickly add the necessary product information to the site. While this message remains on the home page, you will be unable to print and process any new orders until all of the cross-references have been applied.

1. Click on the notification, as shown above.

2. You will then be taken to a page that lists all of the incoming Retailer product codes and product descriptions that need to be cross-referenced, as shown below. Clicking on any of the line items will expand the product to show more information. To begin adding the cross-reference to your own internal product information, click “Add new item” in the expanded "Product Detail" view, as shown below:

The view will once again be expanded to show the fields available for data entry, as shown below.

5. Once you have completed filling in your information, click the “Save” button in the bottom right corner, as shown above. Clicking “Save” will remove the item from the Quick Cross Reference list. Once you have completed applying all of the cross references you will be able to begin printing and processing your orders.
