Hey there,
we need to integrate our logistics partner and want to exchange the order and product data with them. For that we want to create xml/csv files that we fill with our data... what is the easiest way to integrate them? Both sides need access to the data. How is this usually done? Cheers, Paul |
depends on the logistic partner.
if they use VANS and EDI then that would be one way. if they don't have a process yet then Open AS2 would be another. you could also use REST. my suggestion is to run these independent then make a bridge in ofbiz like a import export of the data. madppiper sent the following on 11/6/2008 1:05 AM: > Hey there, > > we need to integrate our logistics partner and want to exchange the order > and product data with them.

yeah, that would be the idea behind it.
But what would I need to do to import/export the data? Are there some components already available?

or you can write import routines, like I do that load the data and call services. you can write export, the writes to the xml format the logistic partner needs. then put in a folder for the external programs to read. madppiper sent the following on 11/6/2008 3:15 AM: > yeah, that would be the idea behind it. > > But what would I need to do to import/export the data?

You're in luck! There is some stuff that is included and does quite a bit OOTB in the oagis component. There are services and related templates and such for sending and receiving OAGIS XML files specifically for fulfillment purposes.

has many limitation though for multi logistic partners and different
communications paths. good template for expansion though David E. Jones sent the following on 11/6/2008 11:53 AM: > > You're in luck!
