Since D&H does not provide product and pricing information in database format, a QuoteWerks native product database will first need to be created, and then QuoteWerks can import the text file containing the product and pricing information that D&H provides.

Step 1: Go to the Products | Setup Product Sources menu, then select the [New] button on the Product Data Source Setup window.

Step 2: From the “Select Database Type” window select “QuoteWerks” from the drop down menu. Then click on the [Next] button to move to the next step.

Continue following the steps for “Creating Native Product Sources” in this chapter. It is important to name the Product Data Source “D & H” (making note of the space on both sides of the ampersand. Also, make sure to NOT check the option to “Show all products/services when product source is selected”.
