Basic Settings
The basic settings cover all options in the settings menu of the connector.
Once you have successfully completed the Authentication to the Online Shop, you should define the basic settings. Of course, you can adjust them at any time so that they match your requirements as closely as possible.
Without the basic settings, using the Shopware Connector will produce error messages and its functionality will be severely impaired.
1. Shopware Configuration
You define the basic settings in the "Configuration" menu of the Shopware 6 API Connector in Business Central.
Where is this?
Under Authentication to the Online Shop you will find detailed step-by-step instructions with images showing how to find the "Configuration" menu.
The following subpages describe the tabs on the "Settings" page:
Shopware Information was covered under Authentication to the Online Shop.
Order configuration is described under Order Configuration.
Customer configuration is described under Customer Configuration.
Inventory configuration is described under Inventory Configuration.
2. Shopware Mapping
In addition to the basic settings, you must configure the Shopware "Mapping". It maps values between Business Central and Shopware.
If, for example, you add a new shipping method or a different payment service provider to Shopware, you need to start a new initial download and match the new information. Existing mappings are not affected by this.
IMPORTANT
Before you can define these settings, a successful "Shopware Initial Download" must have taken place. You will find more information about the "Shopware Initial Download" here: Initial Download
Open it via "Shopware" "Mapping" in the action bar in BC.
In the window that opens, you now need to configure the "Module Name Filter". It indicates which subsection you are currently in. You can navigate through the various categories using the drop-down menu to its right.
Assign the appropriate Business Central code to every Shopware function that is relevant to you, and vice versa.
The individual "Module Name Filter" options are described in more detail below:
2.1 Payment Mapping
In this table, each payment method from Shopware must be mapped once to a payment method in BC so that this information can be processed correctly. If you add a new payment method to your online shop at a later point in time, it must be matched as well. To do so, a new initial download must be performed first.
2.2 Shipping Mapping
In this table, every shipping method available in Shopware must be mapped to a shipping method, a shipping agent (for example DHL, DPD, and so on) and a shipping agent service (for example Standard, Express). If you add a new shipping method to your online shop at a later point in time, it must be matched as well. To do so, a new initial download must be performed first.
2.3 VAT Mapping
In this table, the tax rates from Shopware are mapped to a general business posting group and a general product posting group in Business Central so that the taxes on the entries in Business Central can be processed correctly.
If you add new tax rates to your online shop at a later point in time (for example when you start selling to a new country/region), they must be matched as well. To do so, a new initial download must be performed first.
2.4 Item VAT Mapping
In this table, the VAT product posting groups must be assigned to a Shopware code so that the tax assignment of the individual entries is correct here too.
2.5 Currency
In this table, the currency code is mapped between Shopware and Business Central. Currently only one currency is supported. Select the "Is Selected" checkbox for the currency you want to use.
2.6 Sales Channel
Nothing needs to be filled in in this table. However, you can hide unwanted sales channels by clearing the "Is Selected" checkbox.
2.7 Salutations
Mapping of salutations from Shopware to salutations in Business Central. This is relevant when you upload customers and is particularly common in B2B scenarios.
2.8 Customer Groups
Here you map a Shopware customer group to a customer group from Business Central.
2.9 Country/Region
Nothing needs to be filled in in this table.
2.10 Language
Check that the languages are mapped correctly.
2.11 Status Management
Here you can see the status of the order.
