Order / Sales Order

Synchronizes customer purchase orders from Walmart Marketplace to Infor CloudSuite as Sales Orders, initiating the fulfillment and financial cycles.

Infor CloudSuite Fields

[field, SalesOrderNumber],[description, Unique identifier for the sales order.] [field, CustomerNumber],[description, Reference to the customer record.] [field, OrderDate],[description, Date of order placement.] [field, OrderTotal],[description, Total monetary value of the order.] [field, OrderStatus],[description, Current status (e.g., 'New', 'Confirmed', 'Shipped').] [field, LineItems],[description, Collection of ordered products with quantity, price, SKU.]

Walmart Marketplace Fields

[field, purchaseOrderId],[description, Walmart's unique ID for the purchase order.] [field, customerOrderId],[description, Customer-facing order ID.] [field, orderDate],[description, Timestamp of order creation.] [field, orderStatus],[description, Current status (e.g., 'Created', 'Acknowledged', 'Shipped').] [field, shippingInfo],[description, Details about shipping address, method.] [field, orderLines],[description, Array of items purchased with SKU, quantity, price.]

Mapping Notes

Walmart's `purchaseOrderId` maps to a custom field or the `SalesOrderNumber` in Infor CloudSuite. `orderLines` map to Infor's `LineItems`, requiring SKU-based product lookup. Shipping and billing addresses from `shippingInfo` map to respective Infor Customer/Sales Order fields. `orderStatus` requires transformation to Infor's lifecycle stages.

Automated Order-to-Fulfillment Cycle

New customer orders placed on Walmart Marketplace are automatically captured, validated, and created as Sales Orders in Infor CloudSuite, then pushed to the WMS for fulfillment. Shipment updates are then sent back to Walmart.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on Walmart Marketplace.
  2. 1 iPaaS receives new order event (webhook/poll).
  3. 2 Order data is mapped, validated (AI-enhanced), and transformed for Infor CloudSuite.
  4. 3 New Sales Order (Infor M3/LN) is created in Infor CloudSuite.
  5. 4 Order details are routed to WMS for picking, packing, and shipping.
  6. 5 Shipment confirmation and tracking details are received from WMS.
  7. 6 iPaaS sends Shipment update to Walmart Marketplace via API.
  8. 7 Infor CloudSuite Invoice is generated upon shipment.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, reduced manual errors, faster fulfillment times, improved customer satisfaction, and real-time order status visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

Benefits FAQs

▸ What is the primary benefit of integrating Infor CloudSuite with Walmart Marketplace?
The primary benefit is achieving seamless, real-time data flow and process automation between your core ERP (Infor CloudSuite) and your leading eCommerce channel (Walmart Marketplace). This eliminates manual data entry, prevents overselling, accelerates order fulfillment, and ensures accurate financial reconciliation, ultimately boosting operational efficiency and profitability.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does this integration handle real-time inventory synchronization?
The integration leverages Infor CloudSuite's robust inventory management (SCM) and Infor ION's event-driven capabilities. When inventory changes in Infor (e.g., goods receipt, order fulfillment), the iPaaS captures these events and pushes real-time updates to Walmart Marketplace's Inventory API, preventing overselling and ensuring accurate stock levels.

Product Management FAQs

▸ Can I automate product listing updates from Infor CloudSuite to Walmart?
Absolutely. The integration automates product data syndication. New product creations or updates to existing product attributes (descriptions, images, pricing) in Infor CloudSuite's Item Master (or an integrated PIM) are automatically transformed and submitted to Walmart Marketplace using their bulk Item Feed APIs, ensuring consistent product information across channels.

Technology FAQs

▸ What role does an iPaaS play in this integration?
A modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) is central to this integration. It provides pre-built connectors for both Infor CloudSuite and Walmart Marketplace, visual low-code/no-code tools for workflow design, robust data transformation and mapping capabilities, centralized monitoring, error handling with automated retries, and AI-powered features for intelligent automation and validation.

Security FAQs

▸ How does the integration ensure data security and compliance?
Data security is paramount. The integration enforces secure authentication (OAuth 2.0), encrypts all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, utilizes secure credential management, and applies least-privilege access controls. Comprehensive audit trails and adherence to data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) are also built-in to ensure compliance.

Customer Service FAQs

▸ How are Walmart Marketplace returns and refunds handled?
The integration automates the entire returns workflow. Return notifications from Walmart Marketplace are ingested by the iPaaS, triggering the creation of return orders in Infor CloudSuite (or WMS). Once the return is processed and validated, the iPaaS can initiate refund processing via your payment gateway and update Walmart Marketplace with the refund status, streamlining operations.

Performance FAQs

▸ Can this integration handle high volumes of orders, especially during peak seasons?
Yes. The iPaaS architecture is designed for scalability and high-volume processing. It employs intelligent queuing, batching strategies (especially for Walmart's Feed APIs), dynamic throttling to manage API rate limits, and asynchronous processing to ensure that even during peak seasons, orders and inventory updates are processed efficiently and reliably without system overload.
