Hi Derrick,

As far as I know, the API does not support anything other than proforma based orders. I don't know if ASI has any plans on improving the interface for full orders. We would certainly be interested in it for internal automation applcations as well as a programmably accessible Service Center for multiple processing via a single payment.

Derrek,

Have you tried looking for the the orders under Orders -> Process Orders -> Print Quotes or Convert Quotes at all? When I was testing our shop online, I was finding the orders were being placed in there, but found to have them bypass this step and go into Invoice Orders.

All I had to do was update ORDERS.ORDER_TYPE_CODE from 'PF' to 'INV', and ORDERS.STAGE from 'PRINTQUOTE' to 'INVOICE', for any orders done from the internet batch. That neartly placed them into the Invoice orders section, and once they were processed, the DIST lines showed as if they were done through IMIS.

I would recommend still having this step done, so that staff can certainly see what is being ordered through the API. We have a inhouse developed software suit that inserts orders into IMIS, and we still have staff go through this step to see what has been done.  And this is how I worked out to update the orders records. But if you are dead set wanting to bypass this section, I would run a trace to see what is actually happening.
