Order Syncing Integration
Order Syncing Workflow
- We search Cin7 Core for any modified orders that are "PICKED"
- This filter can be adjusted to suit your workflow (e.g., PACKED status)
- We can handle backorders and partial picks
- We create a pending consignment in MachShip from each Sale Fulfilment with:
- Warehouse and customer details
- Sales Order number as reference
- Optional SKU mapping with dimensions
- Optional carrier mapping from Cin7 Core ship methods
- Order is picked and packed by warehouse
- Warehouse opens MachShip and searches for the order using Cin7 Core order number
- Warehouse team adds or confirms packages based on your configuration:
- Manual package entry by warehouse team
- Pre-filled from MachShip SKU dimensions
- Pre-filled from Cin7 Core item dimensions
- Warehouse team select a carrier service, or simply use cheapest
- Once consignment manifested, we update Cin7 Core with tracking details
- Order is marked as SHIPPED
