App Portal 7.5
Now that purchase information is imported, it must be associated with SCCM inventory. This is done by mapping the imported data with actual Add/Remove Program data.
To map the imported data:
1. | On the Admin tab, select Purchase Management > Map Purchases. |
2. | From the Select a vendor list, select a vendor to display all purchase data that requires mapping. |
3. | In the filter box, enter a filter term to search the purchases for key words that match the selected inventory group. The column being searched is the Program Name value specified during the import process. |
In the example below, we have selected Adobe as the vendor, and searched for the key word Adobe. We are mapping the purchase entry Adobe CLPC/CLPE/CLPG 4.x Acrobat Pro 8 P/Mac Media DVD (EU) with the App Portal inventory group called Adobe Acrobat.
4. | When the Map Purchases button is selected, the purchase record is updated and linked to the inventory group. The quantity of licenses for all purchases of Adobe CLPC/CLPE/CLPG 4.x Acrobat Pro 8 P/Mac Media DVD (EU) is allocated as well. |
5. | The next time inventory data is imported, if the Program Name column matches Adobe CLPC/CLPE/CLPG 4.x Acrobat Pro 8 P/Mac Media DVD (EU), it will automatically be mapped to the Adobe Acrobat inventory group. |
Note: Once the mapping is complete for a vendor, you will only need to map additional purchases if they are new and have not been previously mapped before.
6. | Repeat the process for each vendor until there are no remaining purchases to be mapped. |
Tip: App Portal Technical Support can also assist in synchronizing inventory data from ERP systems. Please contact Support for more information.
