How to Create a Fulfillment Channel [Step-by-step guide]

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.
