TROUBLE SHOOTING QUICK TIPS:
~ Be sure that you are running BusinessPLUS through Internet Explorer. To verify go to Tools, Internet Options, Programs, then under Default Browser make certain that the box is check marked under Internet Explorer default browser (states: tell me if Internet Explorer is not my default browser). BusinessPLUS is not compatible with Firefox or Google Chrome and will not run properly if those programs and / or streaming websites are running at the same time.
~ When placing orders, make certain that your security code (Sec. Cd.) is filled in properly. Your security code is generally your three digit site number with an A, C, G or 0 added to the number, depending on the order. Make sure you are using the correct code as it directly affects the order routing process. For a list of codes, click on the blue box next to the Sec. Cd and a drop down list should appear.

OnDemand Tutorials- by double clicking on a topic it will open in "TRY IT" mode. "TRY IT" mode can be advanced at your own pace by hitting enter from keyboard. No data entry is needed to advance to next screen. This is the suggested option at this time.
There are three playback methods. "See It", "Try It" or "Print It". ""See It" advances by itself and is a simulation within the software. It is a nice option to see the entire process to become familiar with the task. "Try It" is the preferred option. This option is suggested as the user controls the pace. "Print It" is an option for printable step by step instructions.
