To connect to a WMS, you will have to create a Fulfillment Channel connection.

Once the connection has been established between the system and techOMS, you will be able to push Sales Orders, pull inventory levels and shipments, send and get receipts, get stock updates and synchronize inventory.


The process consists in two phases:

1) Create the channel

2) Configure additional parameters


NOTE: Make sure that you are operating at the right Vendor/Warehouse beforehand.




CREATE CHANNEL


To create a Fulfillment Channel you will have to:


1. Click Channels under Fulfillment Channels


2. Click Create to deploy the fields for creation



3. Complete the fields accordingly



  • Name: Fulfillment Channel's name
  • Warehouse: Warehouse that will be connected with the Fulfillment Channel
  • Host: WMS system's URL (e.g. http://3plcentral.your.url.io)


NOTE: If you need to set up a Warehouse, check How to Create a Warehouse [Step-by-step guide]
