Load Sales Orders
Summary
This method can be called to create new sales orders in SEKO 360. The products within the order must have sufficient available stock for the order to be created if "PushToDC" is set to true.
Use Cases
On the Sales Order, SalesOrderReference is standard for user-defined unique references for the sales order.
On the Sales Order, SalesInvoiceNumber is standard for Tracking-ID for the sales order, if desired to be passed to the system via the Sales Order.
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 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.
