Integration prerequisites

Review and complete the prerequisites to ensure a successful integration of Sterling Order Management System Software with IBM® Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

  • A separate tenant ID, client ID, and client secret are needed for each Sterling Order Management System Software environment.

    After the Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility team onboards the tenant, they provide the tenant details such as the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret to the Administrators.

  • Ensure that the tenants are onboarded to Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

    The Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility team onboards the tenants on receiving a request.

    For the onboarded tenants, configure the ship nodes, distribution groups, and thresholds by calling the corresponding APIs. For more information, see Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility API hub.

  • Ensure to create the queue connection factory and separate queues for demand and supply, respectively so that the supply and demand data gets updated from Sterling Order Management System Software to Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

    For more information, see Setting up the Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility integration.

  • Ensure to create supplies directly in Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility by using the Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility Supply REST API.
