Proposed workflow

Sales order reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving the proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database or Shipwire Orders needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with the proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database and Shipwire Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyTest a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) / Orders to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Preserve both the order ID and stable line IDs. Allow one order to relate to several shipments or invoices. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Azure SQL Database and Shipwire record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) / Orders, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Azure SQL Database and Shipwire need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Azure SQL Database / Shipwire migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Sales order reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) or Orders record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Azure SQL Database Proposed sales order table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) and Shipwire Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Product or catalog item reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed product or catalog item table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) or Products record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Azure SQL Database Proposed product or catalog item table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) and Shipwire Products. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve units, variants, categories, and applicable price lists before order lines.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test two variants of one product, a changed SKU, and a price that applies to only one market or currency.

If it fails: Repair the variant or price-list reference before retrying affected order lines; preserve existing transaction prices.

Inventory or stock position reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed inventory or stock position table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) or Stock record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Azure SQL Database Proposed inventory or stock position table in Azure SQL Database (choose its name) and Shipwire Stock. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve product, unit, warehouse/location, and lot/serial references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test the same SKU in two locations, a reservation, and an older snapshot arriving late.

If it fails: Reconcile the latest stock position before retrying; do not apply an old absolute quantity after new movements.

Coordinate Shipwire commerce data with Azure SQL Database

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A catalog, order, or fulfillment change in Shipwire matters to a selected destination dataset.

  1. Choose the commerce entity from Orders or Products; separate products, variants, orders, and fulfillments.
  2. Preserve order and line references through the Azure SQL Database process. Define many-to-one or one-to-many relationships explicitly.
  3. Assign separate ownership for commercial approval, inventory, and fulfillment, including partial cancellations or returns.

Expected result: A split fulfillment and repeated request preserve line quantities without duplicate orders or shipments.

If it fails: Look up existing downstream records before retrying creation; reconcile current order and fulfillment states.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
