Section 1: OEM Partner Account Setup

Introduction

This section outlines the process for setting up an OEM Vendor Partner account, configuring Authority Document access, and setting up billing information. Follow these steps to ensure that the account is correctly established and equipped for content management.

1. Create a New OEM

Partner Account

The following are the steps required to set up a new CCH OEM Vendor Partner that requires database access:

• SALES: Create a new Account in CCH Production (account_status = DEMO). Note the account_ID value. The vendor Partner can sign up and create this account themselves, or, Unified Compliance can create it for them.

• DEV: Update the account status to “oem_vendor” and put the account in the Partner Portal. Run the following SQL and change the reseller_id and account_id value to the one from step #1:

update ch_account set reseller_id=99999, reseller_status=2, account_status='oem_vendor' where account_id=99999;

2. Enable Customer Type

In the Partner Portal, a customer type dropdown has been added with these possible values: CCH, CCH OEM, Nextgen, and Nextgen OEM. We need to specify which of these this account will have access to. In the short-term, we expect accounts will only have access to one of these, but it is possible for an account to have multiple of them enabled. A new reseller_enablements table has been added for this and these are the possible TYPE values: cch, cch_oem, nextgen, nextgen_oem. So, for a CCH OEM Partner, run the following insert statement with the correct account_id value:

insert into reseller_enablements (type, account_id) values ('cch_oem', 99999);

3. Authority Document Access Configuration

• SALES: Sales to provide DEV the list of Authority Document ID’s as specified in OEM Vendor Partner contract.

• DEV: Configure the account to have access to list of AD IDs provided by Sales. Replace the account_id below with the one from step #1 and the AD ID’s to the ones provided by Sales:

insert into entity_singular_entitlements (class_name, entity_id, account_id)
select 'Db_Entity_AuthorityDocument', ad_id , 99999
from authority_documents where ad_id in (3687,3242,3241,3240,3224,3222,3221,3212,3647,3292,3567,3430,3714,3201,3986,3960,3200,3208,986,985,3946,3134,3417,3416,3438,3415,3420,3419,102,2935,3009,176);

• SALES / SUPPORT: Log in to CCH Manage in production and impersonate the Admin user of the account, and create the Authority Document List(s) that correspond to their contractual list of authority documents. The lists can be created manually OR imported from published lists that UCF may have already created. NOTE: Only lists created via impersonate will appear in the Partner Portal. It is possible to manually update a list that was not created via impersonate (should we need to) by setting ch_authdoc_list.reseller_assignable = 1

4. Billing Information Setup

• OEM VENDORPartner: Navigate to the Billing tab in the Partner Portal (https://partner.unifiedcompliance.com)

• OEM VENDORPartner: Complete the required Admin/Billing user details and submit.

5. Configure Discount / Coupon Code Amount

This step is optional. Due to the workload of manually managing invoices for a large number of customers, the majority of OEM Partners will be comp’ed in Recurly using a 100% coupon code. This configuration can be accomplished in the Partner Portal or in Recurly itself. Follow these steps to update in the Partner Portal.

• SALES: Configure the appropriate coupon code amount for the account. Sign in to the Partner Portal under the Unified Compliance account, then go to the Admin tab, search for the account (the OEM Partner account in CCH) and then select the Manage button, specify the Discount amount (up to 100%) and press UPDATE:
