API Maintenance
API Maintenance
The API maintenance form needs to be set up before you start accepting orders and customer records from either your website, Vision Horizon, Vision Insight.
This allows you to control what happens when you receive a new entry and allows you to setup fields that your external applications can not complete to be filled by the system automatically thus allowing the new records to go straight into the system, anything missing you will have to edit through the interface module.
General Tab
The General tab is used for the general way that the interface runs, and whether you want to save items directly or whether you want to be able to stop everything in the interface for you to process manually. Assuming that you wish to post everything directly then you will only see those items which have issues in the interface.
Customer Defaults
Customer defaults are to help you automatically create customers when the customer arrives from the external application, the fields above are mostly self-explanatory and come from the customer setup, which means they are choices of existing fields, such as VAT Code, Currency, status, analysis fields. If your external application can not complete or send these fields then this is what we will use to be able to save the customer record.
Order Defaults
Order Defaults tab allows you to specify any final order defaults which are needed for the incoming orders, if they are not specified on the inbound file then these are the defaults that we will be using for the order.
Most web sites are very basic in the information they take or store, especially for sales orders where there is no concept of what is required for excise and customs warehouse transactions, so most of the defaults that are provided here relate to this issue and are designed to try to allow those systems to send in basic information which we then try to work out what is is and how it will fit into the system, the goal is that we do not want to manually edit those orders unless we really have to.
