This article highlights the requirements for configuring the Warehouse Integration from Claritum's end.
The Warehouse Supplier will integrate using the Web Services. For information regarding the Web Services, please refer to the Claritum System Web Services which outlines the requirements for the Warehouse Supplier.
To understand the workflow, please refer to the Warehouse Integration Workflow article.
Setting Up Warehouse Integration
In order to set up the Warehouse Integration, the following parts of the system need to be configured:
...
You must enable "Warehousing" as one of the Supplier's activities.
To do it go to Suppliers → Suppliers → View Suppliers → Suppliers → Capabilities tab tab.
Users tab
- Create a Supplier User for the warehouse Supplier to use when calling the web services Web Services. For this, follow the instructions for Adding a Supplier User
- Name the Supplier User "Web Services".
- Enter the email address into the 'Email' and ‘External ID’ fields.
- Create a password that the warehouse system can use and inform the warehouse supplier of the email address and password so they can configure their system.

...
If you have more than one Supplier on the system sharing the same integration then you must ensure that you use a different email address for each, e.g. ‘webservices1@warehousesupplier.com’ and ‘webservices2@warehousesupplier.com’. If you use the same email address for both then there’s a risk the system will not be able to log them in under the correct account. |
Warehouse Integration tab
...
Select the Warehouse that is handling this product for you by choosing a value from the 'Warehouse Supplier' list.Note: The warehouse integration treats anything with a 'box quantity’ as the unit of measure. In other words if your item has a box quantity of 15 and the customer orders 45 then the ‘quantity’ that goes to the warehouse will be 3. Any quantities being confirmed back from the warehouse will also be in multiples of the box quantity. ( check with Matt)
This is regardless of whether the item is ‘box ordering’ or not.
