Load Shopware Initial Data
So that the connector can map Business Central values to the matching Shopware values, the Shopware master data must be loaded once. This is done by the Load Shopware Initial Data action in the configuration.
What Is Loaded?
Among other things, the initial download reads the following areas from Shopware and creates them as mapping entries:
Payment methods
payment-method
Shipping methods
shipping-method
Taxes & tax rules
tax, tax-rule
Currencies
currency
Sales channels
sales-channel
Customer groups
customer-group
Salutations & countries/regions
salutation, country
Languages
language
Status management
state-machine (+ transitions)
In addition, an item tax mapping is prepared from your BC VAT product posting groups.
Make sure the connection works
First run Test Connection & Diagnostics.
Load the initial data
In the configuration, click Load Shopware Initial Data. Depending on the volume of data, the process can take a few seconds.
Maintain the mappings
Then open the Shopware Assignment & Mapping and select the default values (sales channel, currency, customer group) as well as the tax mapping.
Run Load Initial Data again whenever you have created new payment methods, channels, taxes, or similar in Shopware, so that the new values are available for mapping.
