If you have a multistore system, note that Electronic Receipt Posting (ERP) and Electronic Ship Later PO require you create a separate control stream for each store. See step 7 below.
With the control stream you want to modify displayed, look for the line that reads "PAR MEMBER#=XXXX-X," as in the following example.
Type your member number over the X's. You must include the dash.
If your member number is six digits rather than five, click here for a conversion table to convert the first two digits of the number to a letter.
To add a dialing prefix to the control stream (for example, you have to dial 9 to get an outside line), find the line of the control stream that contains the phone number (the line usually starts with "DPA"), and enter 9, before the phone number.
example: DPA9,18005551212
Click Change to save your changes.
Multistore: Electronic Receipt Posting (ERP) and Electronic Ship Later require you create a separate control stream for each store. To do this, click the arrow in the Control Stream Name box and select the control stream (COTERP or COTESL). Type a 1 (for store 1) after the control stream name, so it reads COTERP1 or COTESL1, enter the store's member number over the X's in the grid (as described in steps 3 and 4 above), add a dialing prefix if necessary (as described in step 5 above), and click Add. This will be your control stream for store 1. Repeat this entire process for your other stores.
