To connect EWarehousing, you will have to, first, create a Fulfillment Channel connection, and then, set up the connection parameters.
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
CREATE CHANNEL
To create a Fulfillment Channel you will have to follow the instructions in How to set up Warehouses and Fulfillment Channels for an Account [Step-by-step guide]
Once you have added it, proceed to the following section.
CONFIGURE ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS
To configure additional parameters:
1) Click on the created channel's name in the list
2) Add/Change/Set parameters according to each section as required (click to enhance):
