Brands

Purpose: Use this screen to work with the brands for an organization. Each organization using the Supplier Direct Fulfillment option must have at least one brand.

Used for the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.

What does brand control?

  • The brand logo prints on the pack slip and pullsheet when the vendor generates these PDFs. When the vendor generates pack slips for multiple brands, a separate batch and PDF file is generated for each brand.
  • The vendor can use brand as a selection criterion when generating pack slips or confirming shipments.

Created how? You must create each brand within Order Orchestration, and the brand code must match the ID for the related retail brand from Order Administration. See Setting Up Data for the Routing Engine Module for more information.

Note:

This option is used for the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module if Use Vendor Portal is selected at the Tenant screen.

Using an API to work with brands: You can also use an API to create, update, review, count, or delete brands. See the Web Services Guide (MOS ID 2953017.1) for more information.
