A sales order is an XML structure that contains information about:
The customer
The products (data can be used to create new products in ERP)
The suppliers (supplier data regarding the products and their latest known availability and prices)
The purchase orders (if the order is exported after purchase orders are created)
The serial numbers (if the order is exported after delivery has occurred)
Track/Trace (if the order is exported after delivery from supplier has occurred)
Export of sales orders can in Nettailer be configured under [Exports / XML single objects] and by default supports PUSH to FTP/SFTP or web service.
It is possible to configure when the export should occur:
When the sales order is created
When purchase orders for the sales order are created
When the order status changes
Manually
Our standard recommendation is to configure the export to occur when the purchase order is created. This ensures that there is a relationship between the sales order and the purchase order when they are created in the ERP. However, this depends on the desired process flow.
As an alternative to the PUSH method, Netset can configure web services for PULL:
/orderlist List with new (not requested) sales orders
/order Get a specific sales order; same sales order can be requested multiple times.
The XML structure and content of sales orders and purchase orders remain the same regardless of the method used. However, there are pieces of information that are dynamically added and thus depend on the export timing, such as order status, serial numbers, and track/trace information.
Latest version of the sales order XML is 38.

If you want to implement automated exports of customer orders or purchase orders, you can create them here. You can export via a web service (HTTP) or via FTP.
When you click "Create,” you have two different kinds of exports to choose from:
Export
What it does
Orders
This is the export of customer orders. You can get this exported either when the order comes in, when you send the order to the distributor, or if you want to manage exports manually.
Purchase Orders
This is the export of purchase orders. You can get this exported either when you send the order to the distributor or if you want to manage exports manually. Each product has an order number that goes hand in hand with the sales order.
Order Delivery
This is the export of order delivery. You can get this exported either manually or when you receive order delivery data from the distributor.
Product
This is the export of products. You can get this exported manually .
Quote
This is an export of quotes. You can get this exported automatically when the customer creates a quote or manually by clicking on "Export" on the specific quote.
Quote Request
This is the export of the quote request. You can get this exported automatically when the customer tries to create the quote request or manually by clicking on "Export" on the specific quote request.
