Setup Your ABC Catalog

​

Overview

Linking your Parts and Services catalog to ABC Supply tells Zuper which ABC Supply product to use when pulling live pricing, placing orders, and generating material orders for each item. Once a product is linked, Zuper fetches the current branch price automatically, priced against the Ship-To Account assigned to your preferred branch, so your estimates and material orders always reflect what your branch charges without manual price updates. ABC Supply maintains a live, nationally curated product catalog, and Zuper searches the full catalog directly when you link a product. Because the catalog covers thousands of SKUs across hundreds of branch locations, searching by manufacturer part number or ABC Supply SKU returns the most precise results. You can link products one at a time from the product records, or connect multiple products at once from the listing page.

​

Before you begin

The ABC Supply integration must be installed, and at least one branch must be connected, before you can link catalog items. If you have not completed setup, see Connecting ABC Supply.

​

Link a single product

Use this method when you want to connect one product and review the mapping in detail.

​

Select the ABC Supply match

1. Go to Parts and Services from the left navigation menu.
2. Select the product you want to link.
3. Select Suppliers in the left panel of the product record. If no suppliers are linked yet, the panel shows a prompt to start adding suppliers.
4. Select + Add at the top right of the Suppliers panel.
5. Select the Connected Suppliers tab in the Add Suppliers dialog.
6. Select ABC Supply from the list. The status shows Connected, with the number of branches linked to your account.
7. Select Next. The Connect to ABC Supply dialog opens, showing your product name at the top with a row of Recommended Match suggestions below it, based on product name matching. If none of the suggestions are accurate, you can search by manufacturer part number or ABC Supply SKU in the next step for more precise results from the full catalog.

​

Map units and options

8. Select Next. The Map ABC Catalog screen opens, showing the selected ABC Supply product on the left and your Zuper product on the right.
9. Choose the unit of measurement that matches your product under Select UOM.

10. Review each option listed in the ABC Product Option column, and for each one, open the Zuper Product Option dropdown and select the matching option, or select N/A if no option applies.
11. Select Add.

Zuper saves the mapping and returns to the Suppliers tab. The branch name appears as the supplier, and each mapped option shows the Supplier SKU, ABC Product Option, Zuper Product Option, and Unit Purchase Cost.

​

Link multiple products at once

Use this method to connect multiple products in a single step from the Parts and Services listing page.

1. Go to Parts and Services from the left navigation menu.
2. Select the checkboxes next to the products you want to connect.
3. Select Connect to Supplier in the action bar at the bottom of the page.
4. Select ABC Supply, shown as Connected, in the Select Supplier step.
5. Select Next. The Connect items to ABC Supply catalog screen opens, and Zuper pre-selects the best match for each product in a mapping table.
6. Review the pre-selected ABC Supply product in the left dropdown for each product, and change it if the match is not correct.
7. Open the Zuper Product Option dropdown for each ABC Supply product option listed, and select the matching option. Leave unmapped options blank if they do not apply.
8. Select Confirm and Save. Zuper saves the mappings for all selected products.

Manage an existing ABC Supply supplier mapping

Use this method when you want to update or remove a mapping you have already saved.

​

Access supplier actions

1. Go to the product record, and select Suppliers in the left panel.
2. Locate the ABC Supply branch row.
3. Select the three-dot menu on the right of the branch row.

The following actions are available:

• Add Option — add a new product option mapping for this branch.
• Manage Catalog — reopen the Map ABC Catalog screen to update the UOM or option mappings.
• Remove — remove the ABC Supply supplier link for this product from this branch.

​

Remove a product option mapping

1. Select the delete icon next to the option row you want to remove.
2. In the Delete Supplier Catalog dialog, choose one of the following:
   • Delete [option name] from all ABC Supply branches — removes this option mapping across every branch linked to this product.
   • Delete only this particular option — removes the mapping from this branch only.
3. Select Delete.

​

Understanding the supplier record

After you link a product to ABC Supply, the Suppliers tab on the product record shows one row per branch. Each row displays the following information:

• Supplier SKU — the ABC Supply product identifier for this item at the linked branch.
• ABC Product Option — the option from the ABC Supply catalog mapped to this product, for example, shingle color or size.
• Zuper Product Option — the corresponding option from your catalog.
• Unit Purchase Cost — the current price from your linked ABC Supply branch, refreshed daily.

Pricing in ABC Supply is tied to both the branch and the Ship-To Account assigned to it, so if your account has multiple Ship-To Accounts at the same branch, each account might have different pricing for the same product. Zuper uses the Ship-To Account you selected when you set up the branch. To change the Ship-To Account, go to Supplier Settings and update the branch configuration, and pricing reflects the new account on the next scheduled daily refresh.
