Retail Edition QnA
Just need to clarify - does the ecommerce connector support syncing a stock item attribute to a product variant metafield in Shopify? Or does it only support syncing to a product metafield?
In continuation with the below article, the current article explains how the same can be done in 23R1 and the difference between 22R2 and 23R1. Like in 22R2, in 23R1 there are out of box import scenarios for Template Item(Import Template Items), Matrix Item (Import Matrix Items). The Edit Template ID checkbox in the Item Class form which enabled the Template Item ID field in the Stock/Non-stock form is removed. The Is a Kit checkbox is enabled in the Matrix Item which allows the Matrix Item to be created as a Product Kit. Check All the above is done out of the box. Now to make the Template ID field editable in the Matrix item screen, the user has to publish the attached customization(“ImportMatrixItems2023R100.zip”) to this article. This customization package must be used only with 2023R1 and above. There is a customization package for users who do not have commerce module as well. Check the attachment: “ERPImportMatrixItems2023R1002.zip” For 22R2, check If the selected Templ

Please check this article ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Create Product Kits as Matrix Items by following the below steps. Please pay attention to the screenshots were I have created a Template Item called EnergyDrink with the 3 Product Kits as Pack of 4, 8, 12 and linked them as a Matrix Items to the EnergyDrink Template Item. Steps:Create an Attribute from Attributes(CS205000) form, which would be treated as a Variant option to the Matrix Items. Create an Item Class from Item Classes(IN201000) form and link the Attribute created in step 1 and make sure the category is set as Variant.

Hi All,In BigCommerce the sales categories are mandatory to create a new item, so that is why Acumatica-BigCommerce connector requires to have at least one category during the export. I would also recommend you to manage Sales Categories in Acumatica, this will simplify the process and allow you to have one source of truth. However, if you really need to manage sales categories in BigCommerce only, I can suggest you the following customization that will disable categories synchronization for existing items. Only new items will still require at least one sales category: Step 1: Go to Item Sales Categories screen (IN204060) and create 1 category with name “Unassigned”. Name can be anything, Unassigned was used just for example. Step 2: Go to BigCommerce Stores (BC201000) and used Unassigned category as the default Stock and Non Stock Item category. This will allow you to export a new item created in Acumatica to BigCommerce without any error. Step 3: Publish the attached customization “B
For some reason the pricing sync for Big Commerce when you have multiple units of measure enabled is to use the base unit and not the sales unit. This is a major problem because customers build pricing based on the sales unit and not the base/stocking unit. How do we go about getting this changed? This is a critical issue for one of our clients. https://help-2021r1.acumatica.com/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=994bc074-79eb-403b-81c4-9545d470a01dLimitations of Sales Price SynchronizationUOM-specific prices: In Acumatica ERP, if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you can define a sales price of an item for each of the units of measure in which your company sells this item. However, only prices defined for the base UOM can be exported to BigCommerce.
Hi Guys,I need help to sync Line Item properties to Acumatica. Shopify apparently stores the variant options in and array format. Default connector only syncs the 1st option from line item properties but it could have up to 10+ options in that field.Is there a way we can create a loop to loop through the array and show all the options in Acumatica? Thanks for your help.
We have customers and prospects with a requirement to assemble products based on a customers request, either through a ecommerce store or through direct input into Acumatica. Some examples of these scenarios are below: Variety Packs Pick any 6 of our flavors or frangrences to make your own pack. Using matrix items is not a viable solution given that these customers may have 300+ individual items. Made to Orders based on variables. Manufacturing is overkill and does not interface with ecommerce connector. Needs to be rules driven to avoid misconfigured items. Is this an indoor or outdoor applications? Do you want still images or video? What megapixel level? (doesn ot allow megapixel levels not compatible with video if selected) What country? Which cellular provider? (does not allow a provider which is not available in selected country) Issues: How to faciliate the order in the ecommerce store so that it passed to Acumatica correctly?

On a number of our clients’ Shopify stores, we can’t access Acumatica App, getting this error: This happens in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. Tried on Windows and MacOS.Any thoughts, @KarthikGajendran , @smarenich ?Thank you!
When we create new products in Acumatica, we do not want them to show as Active in Shopify until we have a chance to update images, tags, etc. in Shopify. (We handle all of that in Shopify, not in Acumatica.)The connector automatically creates new products in Active status; is there a way to change this and set these products to Draft status when they are initially created? (Outside of creating a custom field or attribute and mapping to the Status field?)
I will occasionally get this error in the sync history preventing an order from importing into Acumatica. The inventory ID is not missing from the item on Shopify, and exists in Acumatica. See below for the highlighted error. Has anyone else experienced this and know the root cause of the error?
Hey Folks,Couldn’t find much on this, so wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts:In template item creation, under the “matrix item” tab, it is picking up the “last cost” and it seems to push this to Shopify as the product cost even though the item has a ‘current’ cost defined under the Stock Item: These particular items have a “Current Cost” but not a “Last Cost”: Do we happen to know why the Shopify Connector uses the Last Cost and not Current? Are we supposed to be updating the cost to “last cost” routinely?Cheers,k2
Hello - we recently implemented the Ecommerce edition to our existing distribution edition to connect with our Shopify store. We do not have any 3rd party integrations for calculating tax in Acumatica as most of our business runs B2B, so we manually set up Tax ID’s and zones and apply them whenever necessary.One area that we do have to charge taxes in via web sales. For most states, we are only dealing with a single flat rate per state. However, there are a few states, like California, where you are charging State + County + Local in some cases.Shopify handles this as 3 distinct API calls, as opposed to a single calculation of tax and a pass to Acumatica.I’ve tried to do some mapping to change all the incoming tax rate names from Shopify to match up with my associated rates in Acumatica, but with this being 3 calls in the example above, it seems like Acumatica wants to add 3 rows with the same Tax ID name, which it obviously can’t do/will error.I know you can build out more robust
Hi All,The Commerce Retail team has recently prepared a technical guide about import of Refunds supported by the Acumatica Shopify connector in version 2023r2. This guide covers the most common refunds scenarios for Shopify orders with cash or credit card payments. We believe that this document will help to improve users’ knowledge of the refund import process and what results they can expect.If there are any other frequent scenarios of refunds applicable for Shopify orders, please let us know in replays for this post. Thanks
Hello, a few of our client have the same issue: when exporting shipment information from Acumatica to BigCommerce, the export fails, when there are 2 or more packages on the shipment, and no items are assigned to each box:The error on the export would be: The [shipment number] shipment could not be exported because the [tracking number] box has no items. Please delete this box or assign an item to it.Can we have Acumatica disregard any and all tracking numbers, UNLESS it’s the only tracking number (1 package on a shipment) or the package has items assigned?Thank you!
There are only 2 choices to show available for the web store. My client would prefer that negative available is ignored and factored into the calculations. In the example below, they want to see 10.This is an example I set up and tested with the store setting for Availability Mode for Available and Available for Shipping.When set to Available the store shows a qty of 8 When set to Available for Shipping it shows 20 If I allocate the sales order for the 10 pieces it changes to either 8 or 10. Generally, we do not set the sales orders to allocate because it ties up inventory you could use for orders with earlier ship dates. Unfortunately, there is no way to allocate orders based on date.
Hi, How do I map Ship Via to the correct carrier in Shopify, i.e. I ship something with Estes trucking, I want Shopify to recognize the carrier.
I’ve had this issue for exactly a month now. Items randomly fall into this error status of “The record cannot be synced because it does not exist in the external system”. All of these also have the characteristic of being a Status = Deleted. The item itself isn’t deleted but the Sync History record is. See this video which shows that when I try to update the status and sync the item, it automatically falls back into the status of Deleted: We’ve been manually updating our inventory in Shopify, among other manual updates due to bugs. It’s very labor intensive and we’re going into our busy season. We migrated to Acumatica due to the integration with Shopify, but it’s not working out so great. Please help!
We have a client with multiple locations/warehouses. They use Big Commerce as a B2B site where the customer needs to be setup first. They are running into a couple issues I could use some guidance.Is there a way to display inventory availability by warehouse instead of just one specific warehouse or all warehouses? When a customer places an order the customer needs to have the all the items on the sales order assigned to the customer default warehouse, but it appears the integration changes the sales order line warehouse depending on availability. Is there anyway to force the sale order line warehouse to be assigned to the customer warehouse only?Currently the client is on 20R1, but we are looking to upgrade them to 20R2.Thanks,Kurt
In 21R2 the Retail-Commerce team has added support for selling personalized items on BigCommerce and Shopify then passing the personalization instructions into the Sales Order. This feature was requested by several existing customers and prospects. It was possible to accomplish in the past versions with customizations, but now it is much easier.Here is how it works:On the eCommerce site you must configure the Made to Order item. Within the ERP you must add a field within the Sales Order to accept this information. This requires a customization package. Below we are sharing a template to help you get started. You must use the entities window to map the eCommerce field to the Sales Order field you must use the entities window to map the fieldsMore details about each step are below.

Hello Everyone,For Acumatica 2020 R1 version, is there any possibility to fetch specific orders, based on specific BigCommerce order statuses from BigCommerce to Acumatica.For an example: I want to fetch only the BigCommerce orders having order status as: “Awaiting Payment” and to import further in Acumatica.Can we achieve this from any mappings/configurations or we have to do a specific customization. If customization is needed, can you please help with sample code. Thank you in advance !

Context: Allowing preorders for BigCommerce products (stock items). We’re currently on 2020 R2 (updating to 2021 R2 in the next 90 days) and on the BC Enterprise storefront. BigCommerce Requirements: To properly allow the native ‘preorder’ functionality to work on BigCommerce, two settings need to be adjusted:‘Availability’ needs to change to ‘This product is coming soon but I want to take pre-orders’ ‘Inventory Tracking’ method needs to change to ‘Do not track inventory for this product’Acumatica Settings: At the individual stock item level, it is possible to adjust the ‘When QTY Unavailable’ setting within ‘Inventory Settings’ to ‘Set as Pre-Order’. Sounds great. Acumatica Behavior: This ‘Set as Pre-Order’ action only adjusts the BigCommerce ‘Availability’ setting to the required ‘This product is coming soon but I want to take pre-orders’. However, without the ‘Inventory Tracking’ setting getting updated in tandem, the action of allowing pre-order isn’t actually achieved. There are o
In 2023R1, a new checkbox called “Disable Automatic Tax Calculation” is introduced in the Order Types(SO201000) form. When this checkbox is selected, the system will refrain from recalculating the taxes for the Sales Orders and Invoices. The Commerce connector will import the Taxes from external systems such as BigCommerce, Shopify, Amazon etc., if the “Tax Synchronization” checkbox is selected in the Stores form. If the “Tax Synchronization” checkbox is selected in the Stores form and if the selected Order Type in Order Type for Import selector has “Disable Automatic Tax Calculation” unchecked then a warning is shown to the user as “ The Disable Automatic Tax Calculation check box is cleared for the EO order type on the Order Types (SO201000) form. Taxes in sales orders imported from the BigCommerce store will be recalculated on invoice creation.” Once these taxes are imported, then it stays as the same even if the Sales Order or Invoice is modified. This “Disable Automatic Tax Ca
