Third party logistics integration
Hey there,
we need to integrate our logistics partner and want to exchange the order
and product data with them. For that we want to create xml/csv files that we
fill with our data... what is the easiest way to integrate them? Both sides
need access to the data. How is this usually done?
Cheers,
Paul

You're in luck! There is some stuff that is included and does quite a bit OOTB in the oagis component. There are
services and related templates and such for sending and receiving OAGIS XML files specifically for fulfillment purposes.
Look at ofbiz/specialpurpose/oagis

or you can write import routines, like I do that load the data and call
services.
you can write export, the writes to the xml format the logistic partner
needs. then put in a folder for the external programs to read.

yeah, that would be the idea behind it.
But what would I need to do to import/export the data? Are there some
components already available?

depends on the logistic partner.
if they use VANS and EDI then that would be one way.
if they don't have a process yet then Open AS2 would be another.
you could also use REST.
my suggestion is to run these independent then make a bridge in ofbiz
like a import export of the data.
