Send Fulfillment Requests

Send Fulfillment Requests to Win-Tron Electronics

The Win-Tron Electronics - Send Fulfillment Requests tool lets you seamlessly send purchase orders (POs) or fulfillment requests (FRs) to Win-Tron Electronics. This process ensures your orders are transmitted accurately and efficiently. Here’s how it works, broken down into three simple steps:

Step 1: Connect an Integration

First, we need to establish a secure connection to Win-Tron Electronics to send your fulfillment requests. Here’s what you’ll do:

- Choose Your Integration: Select "Win-Tron Electronics (BETA)" from a list of available integrations. You’ll see other options like Accutech or American Tire Distributors, but for this, we’ll focus on Win-Tron.

- Set Up a Connection: Create a new connection (e.g., named "wintron") using FTP credentials. You’ll need to provide:

- FTP Host: The server address, like ftp.wintron.com.

- FTP Username: Your username, such as wintron_user.

- FTP Password: A secure password, like securepass123. (You can toggle to show the password if needed!)

- Test and Save: Click the "Test Connection" button to ensure everything works, then hit "Save Connection" to proceed.

Connection Options:

- Already have a connection? You can select it (e.g., "wintron - Wintron Electronics FTP") or edit it if needed.

- Need to switch? Use the "Change Integration" or "Change Connection" buttons to pick a different setup.

Step 2: Configure Settings

Next, you’ll set up how your fulfillment requests are sent to Win-Tron Electronics. This step ensures your orders are formatted correctly and sent at the right time. Here’s what you can configure:

- Outbound Remote File Folder: Specify the folder on Win-Tron’s FTP server where your requests will be uploaded (required).

- Account Number: Enter your account number with Win-Tron, like 123456 (required).

- Trading Partner ID: Provide your trading partner ID, such as TP789 (required).

- Bill To ID: Set the billing ID, like BT456 (required).

- Ship To ID: Define the shipping ID, such as ST123 (required).

- PO ID: Include a purchase order ID, like PO987 (required).

- Hold For X Hours: Optionally, delay sending POs/FRs for a set number of hours. This is great if you want to review orders first. For example, set it to 24 hours to hold off sending for a day.

- Send Only During Business Hours: Check this box to ensure requests are sent only during Win-Tron’s business hours, avoiding off-hour submissions.

Once you’ve filled in the details, click "Save and Proceed" to move to the next step.

Step 3: Define a Mapping Template

Finally, you’ll map your data to Win-Tron’s format so your fulfillment requests are structured correctly. The Mapping Dashboard—named "Win-Tron Electronics - Send Fulfillment Requests"—makes this easy with dropdowns and options to customize everything.

How It Works:
You’ll match fields from your system (the "From Value") to Win-Tron’s required fields (the "To Win-Tron Electronics Order Item Field"). Here’s what you can map:

- SKU (T): Map your "Fulfillment Request Item - SKU" to Win-Tron’s SKU field (required).

- Quantity (N): Map your "Fulfillment Request Item - Quantity" to Win-Tron’s Quantity field.

- Sale Price (N): Optionally map a sale price, or choose "Don’t Map" if not needed.

- Ship To State (T): Map your "Shipping Address - State" to Win-Tron’s Ship To State field.

- Shipping Code (T): Map your "Source Shipping Method - Shipping Code" to Win-Tron’s Shipping Code field.

Ways to Customize:
With simple dropdowns and clickable options, you can:

- Match It: Link a field (e.g., "SKU" to Win-Tron’s SKU).

- Set It: Choose a fixed value (e.g., set Shipping Code to "UPS").

- Transform It: Use "Mapping Set" to combine or adjust data.

- Smart Rules: Add "if-then" logic (e.g., only send items with Quantity > 0).

- Skip It: Select "Don’t Map" or "Set to Empty" to ignore a field.

Handy Features:

- Searchable Dropdowns: Easily find fields by typing in the dropdown.

- Buttons for Efficiency: "Save" your mapping, "Duplicate" it for another setup, or "Delete" it if you don’t need it.

What’s Supported (and What’s Not):

Once you’re done, click "Save" to finalize your mapping template, and you’re ready to send fulfillment requests to Win-Tron Electronics!

Get Shipments

Get Shipments from Win-Tron Electronics

The Win-Tron Electronics - Get Shipments tool allows you to retrieve shipment details for your fulfillment requests (FRs) from Win-Tron Electronics. This process ensures you can track and manage shipments efficiently, with all the key details you need. Here’s how it works, broken down into three simple steps:

Step 1: Connect an Integration

First, we need to establish a secure connection to Win-Tron Electronics to retrieve shipment data. Here’s what you’ll do:

- Set Up a Connection: Create a new connection using an API code. You’ll need to provide:

- Connection Name: A name for your connection, like "Win-Tron Electronics (BETA)".

- API Code: The API code provided by Win-Tron to access shipment data.

- Test and Save: Click the "Test Connection" button to verify the setup, then hit "Save Connection" to proceed.

Connection Details:

- The connection uses an HTTP request to fetch shipment data from: https://wintronelectronics.com/api.php?function=orderlist&auth=(API_CODE)&status=shipped(FR).

- Already have a connection? You can select it (e.g., "Win-Tron Electronics (BETA) - Win-Tron HTTP") or edit it if needed.

- Need to switch? Use the "Change Integration" button to pick a different setup.

Step 2: Configure Settings

Next, you’ll configure how shipment data is retrieved. For Win-Tron Electronics, this step is straightforward:

- No Additional Settings Needed: There are no extra configurations required in FIXpoint for this integration. The connection handles everything!

Once you’re ready, click "Save and Proceed" to move to the next step.

Step 3: Define a Mapping Template

Finally, you’ll map Win-Tron’s shipment data to your system’s fields. The Mapping Dashboard—named "Win-Tron Electronics - Get Shipments"—makes this easy with dropdowns and options to customize everything.

How It Works:
You’ll match fields from Win-Tron’s data (the "From Value") to your system’s shipment fields (the "To Shipment Field" and "To Shipment Item Field"). Here’s what you can map:

- Carrier (T): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment - Manifest Carrier" to identify the carrier used.

- Method (T): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment - Service Type" for the shipping method.

- Note (T): Optionally map a note field, or choose "Don’t Map" if not needed.

- Shipped At (D): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment - Ship Date" to track when the shipment was sent.

- Shipping Cost (N): Optionally map the shipping cost, or choose "Don’t Map" if not needed.

- Tracking Number (T): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment - Tracking No" to get the tracking number.

- Tracking URL (T): Optionally map a tracking URL, or choose "Don’t Map" if not needed.

- Quantity (N): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment Item - Quantity" to track the number of items shipped.

- SKU (T): Map to "WinTron Electronics Shipment Item - Item No" to identify the product.

- All Custom Fields: Optionally set to "Direct Copy" to import all serial numbers associated with the line item.

Ways to Customize:
With simple dropdowns and clickable options, you can:

- Match It: Link a Win-Tron field (e.g., "Tracking No") to your shipment field.

- Set It: Choose a fixed value (e.g., set Carrier to "UPS").

- Transform It: Use "Mapping Set" to adjust data (e.g., combine fields).

- Smart Rules: Add "if-then" logic (e.g., only map shipments with a valid Tracking No).

- Skip It: Select "Don’t Map" or "Set to Empty" to ignore a field.

Operation Workflow:
Here’s how the shipment data is retrieved:

- Data Fetching: The tool fetches an XML file with order details using the URL: https://wintronelectronics.com/api.php?function=orderlist&auth=(API_CODE)&status=shipped(FR).

- Tracking Details: We fetch tracking for each FR individually.

- Shipment Level: Shipment data is available at the order level.

Operation Details:
Here’s what Win-Tron’s shipment data supports:

- Carrier & Method: Supported! Carrier and method are available in the response.

- Shipment Item Association: Supported! SKU is available in the response.

- Partial Shipments: Supported! Supplier may provide partial shipments.

Handy Features:

- Searchable Dropdowns: Easily find fields by typing in the dropdown.
