InforLn Connector - Customer Creation
The InforLn connector does not support the creation of new customers directly from the App4Sales platform. Customers must be created in the InforLN ERP system and will be synchronized to App4Sales during the regular customer synchronization process.
Analysis and Conclusion
The investigation to find the customer creation functionality in the InforLn connector involved the following steps:
Searched for the standard App4Sales customer creation method
OptA4SNewCustomers. The InforLn connector does not implement this method.Searched for other related keywords like "CreateCustomer", "new customer", and "insert customer" within the connector's codebase, which yielded no relevant results.
Analyzed the ERP service helper interface (
IERPServiceHelper) and its implementations to see if any method was responsible for creating customers in the ERP. No such method was found. The available methods are for retrieving data (customers, orders, items) and for creating sales orders.
Based on this analysis, it is concluded that the InforLn connector is designed to work with customers that already exist in the InforLN ERP. The customer data is synchronized from the ERP to App4Sales, but not the other way around.
