Product: QuickBooks Online


Whenever you intend to have orders from your Trading Partner fulfilled by a Warehouse or Third-Party Logistics (3PL) company you'll need to configure that Trading Partner's settings to identify which Warehouse/3PL you wish to use in Transaction Manager to fulfill those orders on your behalf.


Setting the Warehouse ID


For any Trading Partner that is going to be sending/receiving Warehouse Transactions with your Warehouse/3PL you will need to mark that Warehouse ID within Transaction Manager for that particular partner so that Transaction Manager can pass this value when generating Estimates in order to be flagged for generating the Warehouse Shipping Order (940).

Navigate: Trading Partners β†’ (Partner) β†’ Translations β†’ Defaults

Set: 3PL Partner

Your 3PL Partner Value will be the same as your Warehouse Partner's Partner Setup value within Transaction Manager.

Warehouse ID in QuickBooks Online

Whenever an Estimate is generated during an inbound Purchase Order (850) export the 3PL Partner value will be passed to the Custom 2 field (by default) which will be used to identify your Warehouse Partner during generation of the Warehouse Shipping Order (940) to be sent to your Warehouse/3PL.

Once configured - all new Estimates created within QuickBooks will have the added Warehouse ID pushed to it allowing them to be identified when imported back into Transaction Manager.
