Description

This method can be called to create new sales orders in SupplyStream. The products within the order must have sufficient available stock for the order to be created if "PushToDC" is set to true.

System behaviours

  • The Sales Order is defined by the SalesOrderNumber (Identifier)

  • If one Line Item in the sales order returns an error (for example, 'Error Submitting SalesOrder: TESTSO - Error. Product 5963405 has no free stock.'), then the entire sales order fails to upload.

  • The address is not validated on upload.

  • The sales order cannot be edited once uploaded.

  • In a CSV, if a sales order number is used, and then repeated later on in the file (separated by another sales order), these entities will be treated as separate sales orders.

  •  A

     A single Sales Order (defined by the Sales Order number) does not accept multiple lines of the same ProductCode. 

  • Anything that comes through as a SalesOrderLineItem will need inventory and we will need to fully process as a pick.

  • Once a Sales Order is at status Dispatched, the Sales Order is closed. No further dispatches will be sent for this sales order.

  • If there is not enough or no stock for a SKU on an order, the order will be rejected. The sales order would either need to be uploaded again once the stock is present, the out of stock SKU's removed (or quantity reduced), or the order cancelled on the client system.

  • In a CSV file, if you have a multi line order, the details of the order (address, SO number, etc.), must be included on every row. 

  • A web contact consists of DeliveryAddress: First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number.

The 'On the fly' company code creation function

Once 'on the fly' company code creation is activated,  a new CompanyCode can be used in a sales order, which is automatically created as a new company record on SupplyStream. If you wish to use this, see the "Ship To" Company Codes section for more details. The diagram below also shows the systematic flow from using this method.

 'On the fly' company code creation using delivery address lookup

This uses the same method as the above diagram, but also incorporates delivery address lookup. This diagram shows the systematic flow used by incorporating the 'delivery address lookup' function of the Load Sales Orders service.
