The Order integration is used to communicate order details between Unimarket and an external system. The Order integration sends a cXML file via an HTTPS connection.
Why use this integration?
This integration is used to send Purchase Orders with Product Details to a Supplier when a Purchase Order is generated within Unimarket. This allows the Orders to be electronically entered into a Suppliers system which makes the process instant and once properly configured, less prone to errors compared to manually entering orders.
Where to find it?
Current order integration setups can be found and edited in Profile > Configure Store > Integration. If a new point of integration needs to be established, click on Add Order Integration Point and fill out the applicable details before hitting Add to confirm.
| Note: With any new integration points or updates, formal testing needs to be done first before entering new information. If you need to modify an existing integration setup or create a new one, please reach out to support@unimarket.com. |
Supplier Setup
The following details are required by Unimarket to setup the integration within Unimarket
| Field | Purpose |
| Dispatch Mechanism | Determines how the electronic message will be sent to the supplier. This must be set to the mechanism the supplier supports. |
| URL | This is the URL where the electronic PO's will be sent. The supplier will provide the URL. If a Gateway such as Tranzsoft is being used to pass messages between Unimarket and the supplier then the URL will be the gateway URL not the supplier URL. The supplier or Gateway service provider will provide this. |
| FROM Credential Domain | This identifies the Community Domain where the orders are being sent from. This is the key information for the supplier to identify the customer that is sending them the order. If the supplier sets the 'FROM Credential Identity' as their DUNS number then this is usually set to the word DUNS (but can be anything). |
| FROM Credential Identity | This identifies the Community where the orders are being sent from. This is the key information for the supplier to identify the customer that is sending them the order. It can be set to anything but it is commonly set to the Communities DUNS number. |
| TO Credential Domain | This identifies the Supplier Domain where the orders are being sent to. If the supplier sets the 'TO Credential Identity' as their DUNS number then this is usually set to the word DUNS (but can be anything). It is rarely verified by the supplier. |
| TO Credential Identity | This Supplier Identity where the orders are being sent to. It is commonly set to the suppliers DUNS number (but can be anything). It is rarely verified by the supplier. |
| Shared Secret | This is a password that must be set within Unimarket and within the supplier's system. The 2 must match. |
You can find the technical information on our Purchase Order Integration help page.
| Note: Outbound order integration can now be set to include Requester information instead of Buyer information. This is a setting that Unimarket will need to enable. |
