ERP & eCommerce Sync Fields

SalesOrderNumber CustomerAccountID OrderDate SalesOrderStatus TotalAmount CurrencyCode BillingAddress (fields: Street, City, State, Zip, Country) ShippingAddress (fields: Street, City, State, Zip, Country) SalesOrderLines (ItemNumber, Quantity, UnitPrice, LineAmount)

Mapping Notes

Requires careful mapping of NopCommerce 'OrderStatusId' and 'PaymentStatusId' to Dynamics 365 'SalesOrderStatus'. Line item details (products, quantities, prices) need to be mapped to SalesOrderLines. Customer and Address IDs need to be resolved or created in D365.
