Pre-Authorize Items

Use this tool to pre-authorize supplier items that are linked to a viaLink Master Item.  

With item pre-authorization, the viaLink Items you select are automatically accepted whenever they are offered from a list of approved providers.  See Set up Item Pre-Authorization Partners for the steps to add to or delete from this list of approved providers.

Note:  In order for a pre-authorization to have an effect, your Subscriber Role must be configured for item pre-authorization.

Follow these steps:

 

Find and display the viaLink Master Items

From the main Item & Cost menu:

  1. Click View viaLink Item Catalog.

  2. Enter search criteria to find the desired items.  For example, you can:

  1. Scroll down to the Product Code Pattern section at the bottom of the window.

  2. Enter a portion of the Standard or Zero Suppressed UPC.

Many subscribers enter the vendor portion of the UPC in the 4th box, as shown below.  For example 0-71990-55555-1.  You can enter any or all of a UPC.

  1. Click Find.  The items that match your entries display.
