In the interaction of the two systems, plentymarkets is the leading system. This means that all item data must be maintained exclusively in plentymarkets. Changes made via the Pulpo WMS control centre are overwritten by plentymarkets.
The following article master data must be maintained in order to enable the transfer of article data to PULPO WMS:
Name (variant name, variant number, item name (Name1 - DE)). Note: When creating the integration, you can choose which field PULPO WMS should use.
Product type Normal, batch or serial number
Supplier per variant
Barcode(s) per variant
If these fields, or one of these fields, are not maintained, a transfer to PULPO WMS is not possible and the affected articles will not be transferred.
PULPO WMS uses the variant ID from plentymarkets as the SKU. This is necessary to ensure a unique assignment of the variant to the PULPO WMS product.
Different product types
PULPO WMS can manage 3 different product types:
Standard product (e.g. T-shirt, jeans etc.)
Lot product with minimum shelf life (e.g. foodstuffs)
Serial number product (e.g. high-quality, technical products)
Depending on the product type, PULPO WMS maps the necessary processes to receive or send these products. (e.g. serial numbers and batch recording at goods receipt or goods issue).
PULPO WMS recognises product types based on the data stored in plentymarkets. Important : Once defined, it is not possible to change a product type, as serial numbers and batches always have a relation to the product.
