ERP System
- In Abivin vRoute, we have set up an API to enable our partners to connect to other Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Distributor Management System (DMS) systems and fetch the customer and orders data into Abivin vRoute database
Activate ERP configuration
- To get data from external ERP system using the API, please follow the steps below:
- Log in with the top administrator account
- Navigate to Organizations > Organization List tab
- Click on Edit icon of the top organization - The Manufacturer
- On the Organization Information screen, click on the ERP check box to activate the ERP API
- Click Save to confirm the change
The ERP configuration is proprietary for only one of our clients
Pull customer list data
- Navigate to Partners > Customer List tab
- You will notice there's a new button on the toolbar. That's the Sync from ERP button
- Click on that button, the Sync from ERP form will appear
- Click on the Branch field and select the Branch to which you want to pull the customer data
- Next, input the IP/Domain address, the Username, Password of the ERP system into IP/Domain, Username and Password fields
- Next, click on the ERP/DMS Date field to select the date when you want to pull the customer data
- The Check warehouse code (parent_ID) check box is optional. If you enable it, the system will compare the parent_ID field of the customer data on ERP system against the available customer data on Abivin vRoute and will announce if there are unmatched parent IDs. If you don't enable it, the pulling process will always complete without checking the data accuracy
- Finally, click on Pull to start pulling customer data from the ERP system into Abivin vRoute
Pull orders
- Navigate to Orders > Sales Order tab
- Similarly to Partners > Customer List tab, you will notice there's a new button on the toolbar to sync order data from the ERP system

- Next, input the IP/Domain address, the Username, Password of the ERP system into IP/Domain, Username and Password fields
