New! Setting Your Purchasing Vendor:
Your quarterly O/PUSŪ multi-vendor database load updates the pricing for your Item database. You can then maximize your purchasing power using a combination of tools to set primary purchasing vendor. Some dealers base their purchasing vendor based on volume incentives using the (+IL) tool. Others base it on the lowest price and/or best rebate percentage, using the (+IZ) tool. In this video, watch how it is done.

New! Correcting Item List Price Variances:
Every quarter, you update the pricing in your Item database using the O/PUSŪ multi-vendor database update. However, if the list price for the selling unit of measure in your Item record varies too much from the expected list price in the O/PUS database, the SIMPLE wizard cannot update the item automatically, and logs the item in a report. This brief video demonstrates how to correct these list price variance exceptions manually every quarter, so that O/PUS can update your database properly. It's easier than you think.
