Systems
Purpose: Use the Systems screen to review or work with external databases or business entities that integrate with Order Broker for the Routing Engine (including, optionally, the Store Connect module) or Supplier Direct Fulfillment. For example, a system might be a database in Xstore or a company in Order Management System.
System relationships: See Organization, System, and Location for an overview of the data hierarchy in Order Broker, including products.
Created how? You need to use this screen to create each system that will integrate with Order Broker. See Setting Up Data for the Routing Engine Module or Setting Up Data for the Supplier Direct Fulfillment Module for more information.

Option | Procedure |
---|---|
create a system |
The Organization Default flag is selected when you create the first system for an organization, and the flag cannot be unselected at this time. To designate a different system as the default, you need to create another system and flag that system as the default; this unflags the first system. Order Management System integration: The code representing the Order Management System system must match the setting of the OROB System (K50) system control value. |
search for a system |
Use any combination of the fields at the top of the screen to restrict the search results to matching systems:
Case: The System and Name are case-sensitive for searching; for example, an entry of p does not match a system code of POS. |
select a system for review or maintenance |
Click the edit icon () to advance to the System screen. Note: If the System screen is already open in another tab, you advance to that screen, where the previously-selected system is displayed. |
delete a system |
Click the delete icon () next to a system to delete the system from Order Broker. This option is available only if there is not an existing system product or location for the system. |
