In order to be able to search for and book product in an External Supplier System from within Tourplan there are a number of steps that need to be completed. The first step is to have the External Supplier Adapter setup for you via the Tourplan Helpdesk.

Once that has been completed there are a number of settings that need to be made/checked in both the Code Maintenance and INI Maintenance applications to prepare your system for connectivity.

You will then need to map (link) the supplier(s) as they are loaded in Tourplan to the supplier(s) as they are loaded in the External Supplier System. For example, the 'Protea Hotel Balalaika' supplier code may be loaded as 'PHBALA' in your Tourplan system but referred to as 'BALA' in Protea's system.

You will also need to map (link) product you have loaded in Tourplan for that supplier to product in the External Supplier System.
