Edit vendor integration setting

The integration enables the automation of data transfers between IWRS and various vendor data providers. Currently, IWRS supports the exchange of shipment data with the vendors' SFTP file servers.

To establish the shipment data providers in IWRS, you add the respective vendors to your study and configure order or dispatch integration settings for them. To be able to configure such integrations, you need to enable the respective option for a vendor. This can be done upon the first time setup or later, upon editing the vendor setting as explained in the following procedure.

To edit a vendor integration setting

  1. In the IWRS application header, select the INTEGRATION tab.

  2. From the left pane, select the Integration Setting subtab.

    Select or clear the checkbox as follows:

    • Select the checkbox to establish the dispatch integration with the vendor for the system to extract the dispatch file on the depot shipments from the vendor's server.
