How Connex Works

Connex provides guided onboarding for your SAP S/4HANA integration. An ecommerce integration specialist reviews your existing workflow, helps configure data mappings and business rules, tests your integration, and supports your team through launch.

An ecommerce order rarely moves directly from a selling channel into SAP S/4HANA. It may pass through marketplaces, fulfillment platforms, warehouses, or 3PLs before the transaction is complete. Along the way, inventory changes, fulfillment updates, customer data, and financial information all need to reach the right systems in the right format.

Managing those workflows manually—or relying on rigid, out-of-the-box connectors—can lead to duplicate data, inventory discrepancies, incorrect mappings, and hours spent fixing exceptions.

Connex automates the flow of data between your ecommerce and operational systems and SAP S/4HANA, using configurable business rules and mappings to support the way your business already operates.

 

How Connex Solves It

Connex uses configurable business rules and field mappings to control how orders, customers, inventory, fulfillment updates, and other critical data move between your ecommerce systems and SAP S/4HANA. Data is transformed and routed based on your existing business processes, helping SAP receive the right information in the right format without manual intervention.

This approach is built for businesses managing multiple selling channels, warehouses, 3PLs, or complex order workflows that a basic connector can't support. Instead of relying on manual data entry or expensive custom development, Connex gives your team a configurable integration that can adapt as your ecommerce operations grow and change.

    Partial Shipments for Wholesale Orders

    When a wholesale order ships in pieces, accounting needs to reflect exactly what went out and what's still owed. Connex updates QuickBooks as each partial shipment happens, so nothing gets invoiced early and nothing gets missed once the backorder finally clears.
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
     
    What happens in QuickBooks when only part of an order ships?
     
    When ShipStation records a partial shipment, Connex updates the linked QuickBooks sales order or invoice with the shipped quantities, fulfillment status, and tracking details. The remaining items stay open until they ship. Connex can create a separate invoice for each split shipment or create one single invoice for all shipped items. .
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
     
    Can Connex route orders to different warehouses automatically?
     
    Yes. Routing rules are configured based on product, location, or other criteria you define, and orders are sent to the correct warehouse or 3PL without manual review.

    Order Routing Across Warehouses and 3PLs

    Sellers running more than one warehouse, or splitting fulfillment across a 3PL, need orders to land in the right place without someone checking each one by hand. Connex applies routing rules based on the criteria you set, so the right facility gets the right order the first time.

     

    Fulfillment Platform Migration

    Moving fulfillment systems is one of the riskiest points for accounting to fall out of sync. Connex is built to carry that transition, mapping the new platform's data into QuickBooks the same way the old one did, so the switch doesn't cost you accuracy.

     
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
     
    Will switching fulfillment platforms break my QuickBooks sync?
     
    Connex helps preserve your accounting workflow during a fulfillment platform migration, reducing disruption while the new system is implemented.
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
     
    Does Connex support drop shipped orders?
     
    Yes. Drop ship orders sync the same way as warehouse fulfilled orders, with status updating once the supplier ships.

    Drop Ship Orders

    Some orders never touch your own warehouse. Connex handles drop ship orders the same way it handles standard fulfillment, updating status and tracking back to QuickBooks once the supplier confirms the shipment.

     

    ShipStation and QuickBooks Workflow

    ShipStation is one of the most common fulfillment tools Connex automates alongside QuickBooks. Connex syncs the sales order, invoice, or estimate your workflow needs from QuickBooks to ShipStation for fulfillment, and updates that same document back in QuickBooks automatically once the order ships.

     
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
     
    How do I sync ShipStation with QuickBooks?
     
    Connex syncs the document your fulfillment workflow requires, whether that's a sales order, invoice, or estimate, from QuickBooks to ShipStation, and updates that document in QuickBooks automatically once the order ships.
