Hi guys,

I have a project that is integrated with BC.
We have defined a couple of ShippingMethods in DW, according to the definitions and codes in BC.

On the carts, I see that the value for ShippingMethodCode is saved correctly on the order. But I don't see it being sent to BC. The PaymentMethodCode, however, is included in the EcomOrder XML. Is there anything else (apart from the code value) that triggers the inclusion of this information in the order XML?

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

the thing is that order ShippingMethodCode value is sent only when the checkbox "ERP controls shipping" is un-checked. The xml tag is called "OrderShippingCode" which contains the Dynamicweb order.ShippingMethodCode value.

Hi Dmitrij,

In my case, I need to send that ShippingMethodCode to BC in order to tell BC which method it should use to calculate the Shipping cost :)
Which seems to be the other way around how it was meant to work.

Any idea on how I could accomplish this?

Thank you,
Adrian

Yes, you need to use some custom code that will do this:
1) Subscribe to OnBeforeGenerateOrderXml:
settings.ErpControlsShipping = false;
2) Subscribe to OnAfterGenerateOrderXml:
settings.ErpControlsShipping = true; // Restore changed value back
