How to Upgrade a Sales/Fulfillment Channel from a Previous to a Current Version [Step-by-Step Guide]

You can upgrade a Sales or Fulfillment Channel from a Deprecated to a Current version. This allows you to take advantage of its newest features, updated documentation, and continued support.

WARNING: All older stable versions of Beta Channels are listed as Deprecated. Current Beta and non-Beta Channels are listed as Current.

To learn about the supported features of each Current Channel version, refer to:

A. HOW UPGRADING WORKS

When upgrading a Channel, techOMS converts your settings based on differences between the Deprecated and Current versions. Some settings are kept as-is, while others are adjusted or replaced depending on their availability and type.

The table below summarizes how settings are handled during this process:

SETTING PRESENT IN
DEPRECATED VERSION	CURRENT VERSION	SETTING TYPE	WHAT HAPPENS DURING UPGRADE
			Values are migrated and retained.
		Single-value option	The default setting of the Current version is used.
		Multi-value option	Compatible values are kept and merged with the default ones.
			The Current version's default setting is applied.

NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure you are operating at the correct Vendor/Warehouse.
