BODs-Process.SalesOrder_866ab8eb.xsd - product attributes for SalesOrderLine

Our project involves sending customer orders from our eCommerce system to Infor M3 ERP, via the Infor ION Process.SalesOrder API.

The current task is to determine what XML nodeselements we will use to send these product attributes (color, size, etc) for the sales order line items.

I'm on the technical-integration sub-team for this project, and our implementation-functionality team has not yet determined our functionality and setup in regards to assigning product attributes for customer orders created directly in the Infor application UI, so we don't have any of those details yet.

Our sub-team is trying to determine how the Process.SalesOrder schema and ION API supports product attributes per the customer order line items sent through this API.

Our functionality team did mention we will most likely use the CPQ module and configure the order line items with size, color, etc..

Has anyone transmitted this type of information through this API and done the association into Infor product configuration?

Thanks

Hi,

below xml was taken from Process.SalesOrder BOD that is coming from CPQ Sales Portal into Infor LN. Based on this LN creates new derived item from generic item 104110001. This derived item has its own features and options, based on the output of CPQ Sales Portal Item configuration. How this will work, depends on target application.

You can configure this same generic item directly in LN (not via Sales Portal), and in this case LN calls CPQ service itself (Sales Portal is not needed and Sales Order BOD is not used in this case).

I noticed there is a 'ConfigurationComponent' node underneath SalesOrderLine. It looks like this is the specific area of this BOD that we need to understand better. If anyone has further documentation or samples for product attributes being assigned to sales order line items, via the ION API, please let me know.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the information.

For our current scenario, the source of our sales orderlines is an external, non-Infor application, so it's been recommended we use the 'BODs-ProcessSalesOrder_866ab8eb.xsd' schema and the '/api/ion/messaging/service/message' endpoint to add these sales order to Infor M3.

I think the external application in our scenario could be aware of the generic items that exist in Infor M3. Would there be a way for our integration layer to lookup the configuration component information in M3, each time we need to add a new sales orderline, since we wouldn't be using the CPQ Sales Portal module as the source of the sales orderline?

For the two scenarios you mentioned, I'm not sure which one of these our scenario is most similar to, and what the most streamlined approach would be.

Greetings;

Without knowing the exact configuration of your Item / Style it's hard to make a recommendation, but I would say look at the data you get back from MMS200MI/LstStyle or MMS200MI/LstItmByItm . The first one gives Style Configuration data, maybe that would help.
