Configure order integration setting
The integration enables the automation of data transfers between IWRS and various vendor data providers. Currently, the shipment data exchange is supported via integration. To establish the shipment data providers for your study, you add the respective vendors to the list of integrations and configure their integration settings.
One such integration type is order integration based on which the system sends the order file generated for all the supply shipments in IWRS to the vendor's server. You can configure as many order integrations as needed for your study based on the number of depots or depot groups whose shipment data must be sent out.
Important
You can only configure order integrations if this option is enabled for the vendor.
