DICO 3.1 Link: Efficient Ordering via BarTrack

The DICO 3.1 standard makes it possible to place orders with your wholesaler faster and more accurately. In this article, we explain how to use this standard and what the benefits are for your ordering process.

What is the DICO 3.1 standard and why is it useful?

DICO 3.1 is a standardised format for exchanging order data between you and your wholesaler. This format ensures that your orders can be processed easily and without errors. Moreover, the wholesaler can keep you updated on the status of your order via the same standard. This means you have real-time insight into delivery times and always know when your materials will be delivered. In addition, DICO 3.1 makes it possible to send your orders directly to a specific project address.

This is how you start:

1. Check if your wholesaler supports DICO 3.1:

   • Log in to order.bartrack.com.
   • Go to ‘My wholesalers’ and click on the wholesaler where you want to place orders according to DICO 3.1.
   • Check whether the wholesaler accepts orders according to DICO 3.1 by looking at the ‘Automatic ordering (EDI - XML Sales 005)’ block.

2. Enter the required data:

   • In the ‘Automatic ordering’ block, you need to enter customer ID, username, password, and optionally your GLN (Global Location Number).
   • If you are entering data for the first time, click ‘Test connection’ to check the connection.

3. Enter your GLN (if not done before):

   • Go to the ‘My company’ menu and enter your GLN here.

4. Start ordering:

   • Now that the connection is complete, you will be automatically updated on the status of your orders. You can also specify when and where your materials are to be delivered.

Summary

The DICO 3.1 standard allows you to place orders easily and efficiently through BarTrack. By connecting your wholesaler and entering the required information, you will enjoy real-time updates and always have control over your deliveries. Follow the roadmap to get started right away.
