Reviewing Single Matches

To review all single matches and determine which items you want to link, do the following:

1.         Click the Single matches link in the Potential ERP matches region of the Background Item Matching page.  Dealer Gateway displays the Items with a single match table on the Background Item Matching page.



The table includes the following columns and rows:

·           Link: This column displays a check box that indicates if the vendor item listed on this row and the item in your software data is to be linked (box is checked) or ignored (box is not checked) when you click the Save icon.  Two rows are listed to the right of this box.  The top row lists the selected vendor partner's information for this item, and the bottom row lists the item information from your software system.
Note: By default, this box is checked for all single-match records.

·           OEM Number: This column lists in the top row the selected vendor partner's OEM number and in the bottom row the OEM number from the record in your software system that appears to match this selected vendor partner's item record.  The selected vendor partner's OEM number is always displayed in bold font.  The OEM number listed from your software system is displayed in bold font if it matches the selected vendor partner's OEM number.

·           Item Number: This column lists in the bottom row the current Item number from the record in your software system that appears to match this selected vendor partner's item record.  This number is displayed in bold font if it matches the selected vendor partner's OEM number.

·           Vendor Item Number: This column lists in the bottom row the current Vendor Item number from the record in your software system that appears to match this selected vendor partner's item record.  This number is displayed in bold font if it matches the selected vendor partner's OEM number.

·           Make: The column lists in the top row the selected vendor partner's Make if the selected vendor partner provided that information.  This column lists in the bottom row the Make from the record in your software system that appears to match this selected vendor partner's item record.  This number is never displayed in bold font because Dealer Gateway does not attempt to match items based on Make.

·           Model: The column lists in the top row the selected vendor partner's Model number if the selected vendor partner provided that information.  This column lists in the bottom row the Model from the record in your software system that appears to match this selected vendor partner's item record.  This number is never displayed in bold font because Dealer Gateway does not attempt to match items based on Model.

2.         To ignore an item, uncheck the box in the Link column.

3.         To save your selections on this page, click the Save icon.  When you click this icon, Dealer Gateway:

·           Links the items for which the Link box is checked.

·           Moves to the Ignore List the items for which the Link box is not checked.
Note: If you need to undo the Ignore action for any item at a later time, see the Viewing All Items > Accessing and Editing the Status of Ignored Items link in the appropriate Supplies Tile, Equipment Tile, or Parts Tile topic.

·           Updates the counts on the Supplies, Equipment, and Parts tiles on the Dealer Gateway home page.

·           Displays the next set of ten items if you have additional single matches to review, or displays the main Background Item Matching page if no single match items remain to review.

Note: To see the steps in this process within the context of the complete Background Item Matching process, see Processing Background Item Matching section of the Background Item Matching topic.
