Ship nodes
Based on your requirements, a store can be configured as Store Inventory Management (SIM) enabled or not.
A ship node is configured as Store Inventory
Management (SIM) enabled or not enabled either by
specifying the following values for Store Inventory Configuration in Applications Manageror by calling the
manageOrganizationHierarchy API with any
of the following values for the StoreInvConfig attribute:
StoreInvConfig attribute values |
Store Inventory Configuration settings | Description |
|---|---|---|
01 |
SIM enabled. Inventory managed in Store | Store Inventory Management (SIM) is enabled for the store and inventory is managed in the store. |
00 |
SIM not enabled | Store Inventory Management (SIM) is not enabled for the store. |
The flows that are available for the store in the Sterling Store Engagement UI differ based on the Store Inventory Configuration setting. For example, if a store is configured as SIM not enabled, the Inventory management view displays only the Receive inventory portlet.
