Silvershop submodule that integrates with Unleashed Software Inventory Management

Features

Build Tasks to sync Products, Product Categories and Sales Orders with Unleashed
Creates new Customers and Sales Orders in Unleashed upon the payment of a SilverShop order

Use Case

Keeps Silvershop in alignment with an external source of truth - the inventory system. Save time with updating product prices in Silvershop; simply run the BuildTask and review the report. When an order is paid, the new Customer and Order are sent to Unleashed, saving time/data entry mistakes.

How it works

Adds a Guid property to Product, ProductCategory, OrderItem, OrderModifier, and Member classes. The Product, ProductCategory, and Order dataobjects are updated via the Build Tasks. This saves the Unleashed GUID in the database to identify changes found in results from API calls.
Upon the payment of an Order, the module checks the Customer's email address with Unleashed and obtains the GUID. This is used with the Sales Order post. A couple of config settings are needed for the modifiers to flow through to Unleashed as an order item.
The Order Build Task keeps the order status up to date.

Creating a Sales Order in Unleashed

Notes regarding getting/creating a Customer

The customer is logged in and has a Guid from Unleashed?
- true: use Guid of the Customer for the Sales Order
- false: GET Customer filtered by the email address
  - if a Customer is returned. Use the returned Guid of the Customer for the Sales Order
  - if a Customer is not returned. As there might already be another customer with the same Customer Code then GET Customer filtered by the Customer Code (the Company name or the first & last name)
    - a Customer is returned. Is the delivery address the same?
      - true: It must be the same one. Use the returned Guid of the Customer for the Sales Order.
      - false: Add a random digit to the Customer Code. POST Customer and use the returned Guid for the Sales Order
    - a Customer is not returned. POST Customer and use the returned Guid for the Sales Order

Adding an Order

Post SalesOrders with order data

Limitations

Does not utilise the 'Charge' line type for Shipping when Sales Orders are created
Discounts hardcoded to NIL in the Sales Order Items
SalesPerson has not been implemented
The Product/Product Categories Build Tasks only sync existing items within Unleashed. New ones need to be added manually, via upload or modification to the existing Build Task.
Will only send modifiers with a value to Unleashed. NIL values are automatically skipped.
If a user is logged in and changes the email address in the checkout form, then this new email address will not be passed onto Unleashed - no PUT Customer calls are available with Unleashed.
If a Guest purchases a second time with a unique email and delivery address then a new Customer will be created in Unleashed. A random number will be attached to its Customer Code to avoid double ups with the CustomerCode in Unleashed.
