1. Introduction
The ShipServ Catalogue Viewer provides an intuitive interface for selecting items from electronic Catalogues and preparing purchasing requisitions using ShipServs shopping cart software (ShipLink). Electronic catalogues from multiple vendors can be searched and the results combined electronically. This eliminates errors introduced due to re-keying data, and ensures that vendors product data from the catalogues enters directly into the buyers purchasing system, thus giving benefits to both parties.
2. Main window
When the Catalogue Viewer is started, a window similar to the following is shown :

If there is more information available for that item there will be a More Details button shown : click on this to open the extra information. If there is no more information available then the More Details button will not be shown.
Find Equivalents
The Find Equivalents button can be used to find items in other catalogues which have the same alternative part-number (e.g. same ISSA or IMPA number). This would be useful to see how many different suppliers can supply a particular item.
The upper window shows Requisitions which are currently being edited in ShipLink : in the example above there are two open requisitions (MDN-0014 and AGUS-0013) : you can choose to add the item to either of those, or to create a new Requistion. You can also choose the quantity to be ordered of the item. When you click Add, the items will appear in the selected Requisition inside ShipLink , where you have the option of adding more ordering and delivery information.

This window shows the details of each catalogue : where the catalogue database (.rqc file) is stored, any Licence Key that may be required, and where the Pictures and Additional Info (as shown by the More Details button) are located. To add a new catalogue, click Add and locate the new catalogues .rqc file on your PC, then click Save and then Close. To remove a catalogue, select it in the left-hand window and click Remove. Note that this will NOT delete the catalogue files from your PC: it will simply prevent the Catalogue Viewer from displaying that Catalogue in the left-hand Catalogue List window.
