BUZ to BUZ Version 2 allows more customisation. As the Reseller, you have the ability to add, change or remove questions as long as they are non-essential. Also, pricing can be customised rather than a percentage increase.
This customisation comes with a catch; if the Supplier adds or modifies materials, Pricing or the Group options, they will need to inform the Reseller, and the Reseller will also need to update their Product.
Terminology
Terminology for the two parties can vary, so for this document, I will be referring to the company that is offering the Product as the Supplier and the company that will be buying the Product to then onsell to their customers as the Reseller.
Supplier steps
Setting up the Customer Contact card and Customer User Access.
If the Reseller is a new client, you will need to create
A Customer Contact (click here for more information) and
A Customer Login for them (Click here for more information).
For the Customer Login account, the Reseller needs to use the same email address they use to log in to BUZ so that they can link the two accounts.
Providing the Excel Templates
The Supplier will need to provide the Excel Templates so that the information links correctly; you will need to download the current layout, which will be provided to the Reseller.
Inventory Groups - Click here if you are logged into BUZ
Remove any unnecessary information
The only data you need to send is -

Group Options - Click here if you are logged into BUZ
No editing is required for this file
Inventory Items - Click here if you are logged into BUZ
You will need to download the Material List (Main Inventory Items) and any groups with components that relate to this Product; if there are a few groups of components you can merge them and remove any unrelated inventory items.
Note: You can leave the Price grid Code if you wish; this allows the Reseller the ability to know that there are different grids for the other materials, which can make their setup easier.
Optional
You can also download the Pricing co-efficient and Price grids and send the Reseller a copy.
I would recommend removing cost prices from the pricing co-efficient.
Save the files, rename them if you wish and email them to the Reseller,
Reseller Steps
Once you have received the files and accepted the Customer invite for BUZ, you can upload these to BUZ.
You will need to make some basic edits so that they work in your profile.
Job Tracking Line
You will need to allocate the Product to a Job tracking line that you have. You can add this to an existing line or create a new Job Tracking line for the orders sent to your Supplier/s.

Product Groups
Open the Inventory Group document, ensure the details are correct,
You may want to update details like
Product Description
Sequence number
Production Line Code - for the Main Group only, do not add it to the components group.
Max Discount Percentage
Sales and cost GL Codes
Don't forget to add an A in Column AB so that BUZ adds the new groups
Then upload to BUZ
Price Grids - Optional
Now that the Product Groups have been uploaded, you have the option to add Price grid codes or use existing price grid codes if you already have one setup.
For more information about Price grid codes, click here.
Inventory Items
Open the inventory item document,
You may need to edit the file, possibly link the inventory items to the relevant Cost and Price grids if you use them and input an “A” in the operation column on each line for every tab that is included (Material and Components)
Upload the inventory
Pricing Coefficients - Optional
Add the Price (and cost if you wish), Input an A into column AQ and upload
More information about adding Pricing coefficients
Group Options
You can upload the Group Options as they are, but if you wish to add additional questions or remove non-essential ones, you are welcome to do so. Remember that all mandatory questions (Row 9 Is required) must remain and be completed for the order to work.
Upload the file to BUZ.
