Configuring Order Flows

Now that you are connected, you will need to configure your connection flows to ensure that Pipe17 is pushing (and sometimes pulling) order data to/from Acumatica. Pipe17 supports all the basic order flows for the Acumatica connector. Here's a description of them all: 

 

• Orders
  • Push orders to Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to PUSH orders from another connected channel to Acumatica. 
  • Pull orders from Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to PULL orders from Acumatica, so that they can be pushed to another connector. 
• Products
  • Pull product catalog information from Acumatica: Turning on this toggle will enable Pipe17 to pull your product catalog from Acumatica, which will be viewable in your Products tab in Pipe17. 
• Inventory
  • Pull inventory updates from Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to pull inventory per product from your Acumatica account. Your inventory will be visible both on the product level and within the inventory tab in Pipe17.
  • Push inventory updates to Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to PUSH inventory updates into Acumatica per product. Select this option if the source of truth for your inventory is coming into Pipe17 from another integration. 
• Locations
  • Pull locations from Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to pull in one or more "locations" configured in your Acumatica account. This could be a physical warehouse location, or a virtual location like you would find in Shopify for example. 
  • Push locations to Acumatica: Selecting this option will enable Pipe17 to PUSH locations into Acumatica. Select this option if you would ONLY like to record order/location data in Acumatica. 
  • Push AND Pull locations based on location attributes: Selecting this option will perform both of the above functions based on the locations that exist both within Acumatica and Pipe17. 

 

Configuring Integration Specific Settings

Pipe17 gives you additional functionality that can help you manage your orders and information more granularly. These settings can be found underneath the connection flow options we went over previously. Many of these functions are used for testing purposes, but they can also be used to filter certain orders/products from being pulled or pushed. Let's go over these in more detail: 

 

• Orders
  • Pull orders from Acumatica only when associated with specific warehouse name: Enter a warehouse name here to tell Pipe17 to only pull orders for this one warehouse location. Pull orders must be turned on for this to work. 
  • Push orders to Acumatica only for specific order sources: Enter one or more order sources (shopify, walmart, etc) in this field to tell Pipe17 to push orders to Acumatica ONLY for orders originating from these sources. 
  • User order type defined below when pushing sales orders to Acumatica: Enter an order type here to tell Pipe17 to push that order type along with the order when pushing orders into Acumatica. 
  • Push orders to Acumatica for fulfillment: Turning on this toggle will tell Pipe17 to push orders to Acumatica and mark them ready for fulfillment. Turn this on if your orders being pushed into Acumatica's WMS. 
  • Process orders with specific order IDs: This function is primarily used for testing. Enter one or more order ID in this field to tell Pipe17 to only pull/push orders with those specific IDs.
  • Assign Tax ID to orders pushed to Acumatica: Enter a Tax ID here so that Pipe17 sends this along with the order when pushing it to Acumatica. 
• Products
  • Process only products with specific SKUs: Enter one or more SKU value here if you want Pipe17 to push/pull products to/from Acumatica for certain products. 
• Inventory
  • Process only inventory items with specific SKUs: Enter one or more SKU value here if you want Pipe17 to push/pull inventory to/from Acumatica for certain products only. 
  • Process inventory counts associated only with locations specified on the list below: Enter one or more warehouse locations here if you want Pipe17 to push/pull inventory counts per product for only certain SKUs.
