1. Unique SKU: All products in the marketplace or store must have unique Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) to ensure accurate synchronization with OMS. Only one product from duplicate SKU will get sync in OMS.
2. Proper Product Data Structure: The product data structure (including product attributes, descriptions, and stock quantities) should be consistent and complete.
3. Product Prices: Ensure the pricing of all the products are updated and pricing configurations are consistent and aligned with OMS settings.

• Auto sync the existing category attributes and products with basic details like product name, SKU, price, stock & first image from Open Cart to Anchanto OMS App once the seller connects their Open Cart account with Anchanto OMS account.
• As soon as the syncing process will start, the OMS will sync the orders from last 90 days from the Open Cart in Anchanto OMS.
• Once the sync process begins, OMS syncs at a rate of 1,000 SKUs every 15 minutes.

Known Challenges

1. Order Splitting:

   • The current integration does not support splitting orders.

Order Processing Workflow:

When using Open Cart integrated shipping carriers, the Ready to Ship status for orders will follow this automated workflow:

Step 1: Updating the Ready to Ship Status

• If the seller uses both Anchanto OMS and Anchanto WMS:

  • Once the order is physically picked, the status will be updated as Picked in Anchanto WMS.
  • This will automatically trigger the Ready to Ship status update in both Anchanto OMS and Open Cart marketplace.

• If the seller uses only Anchanto OMS:

  • After physically picking all products in the order, the seller must manually update the status as Ready to Ship in Anchanto OMS.
  • This manual update will trigger the Ready to Ship status in Open Cart.

Step 2: Syncing Shipping Details -

• Once Open Cart store successfully updates the Ready to Ship status:
  • A shipping label/AWB and tracking ID will be generated by Anchanto OMS.
  • From there, the information will be synced to Anchanto WMS for further order processing if they are using Anchanto OMS and WMS as solution.
  • The order status will be updated to "Delivered" in OMS once the seller updates the delivered status on Sales channel.
