Order Synchronization: Import of POS Orders

If your company uses Shopify point-of-sale (POS) functionality, you can configure the import of POS orders to MYOB Advanced. This functionality is available only when the Shopify and Shopify POS Connector feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS10000) form.

Configuration of the Import of Shopify POS Orders

To define the import settings for Shopify POS orders, you perform the following steps on the Order Settings tab of the Shopify Stores (BC201010) form:

  1. Select the Import POS Orders check box.
  2. In the POS Direct Order Type, select the order type to be assigned to the orders that do not involve shipping and have already been fulfilled from the brick-and-mortar store. In this box, the order types with the Invoice order type template are displayed.
  3. In the POS Shipping Order Type, select the order type to be assigned to orders with shipping. In this box, the order types with the Sales Order order type template are displayed. Orders of this type are included in the shipment export process—that is, when a shipment is created and confirmed for it and the shipment is synchronized with the Shopify store, the order is also updated in the Shopify store.
  4. In the Warehouse Mapping for Order Import, map locations created in Shopify to specific warehouses and warehouse locations in MYOB Advanced. When an order is imported, the system will assign the mapped location to each order line. If the warehouses and locations are not specified, the system will use the default warehouse and location specified in the settings of the item on the Stock Items (IN202500) form.
Tip: Create dedicated order types for Shopify POS orders so that it is easier to tell them from other orders.

Import of Archived Shopify POS Orders

By default, orders that have been paid and fulfilled are assigned the Archived status in the Shopify store. Orders that have been placed in an online store (online orders) with this status are excluded from synchronization with MYOB Advanced. When the Sales Order entity is prepared for synchronization, such orders are assigned the Filtered status and are displayed on the Filtered tab of the Sync History (BC301000) form. POS orders, however, are imported even if they have the Archived status in the Shopify store. When the Sales Order entity is prepared, archived POS orders are assigned the Prepared status and are displayed on the Ready to Process tab of the Sync History form.
