IOM 3.1
Public Release Note - Intershop Order Management 3.1

Introduction

Welcome to Intershop Order Management 3.1!

Intershop Order Management (IOM) is an application of the Intershop Commerce Platform that is designed to combine omni-channel commerce processes into one system. It automates and streamlines the life cycle of orders and payments. IOM processes orders from multiple touch points (web shop, mobile shop, call center and more), allocates them to multiple fulfillment solutions (fulfillment centers, drop-ship distributors, physical stores and more), and tracks all order and payment transactions.

IOM offers a centralized platform for managing distributed inventory, order, invoice and payment life cycles, and provides call center functionality, enabling real-time visibility into customers' purchasing behavior, stock levels, payments, and more. As part of the Intershop Commerce Solution, it utilizes the transaction, PIM and merchandising features.

IOM offers the possibility to tailor your business models as flexible and free as you need and depict them in your e-commerce environment. The order management system adjusts the order processing for various sales channels and suppliers and can be seamlessly integrated with existing components of your IT environment.

Interfaces

New IOM Order REST API (2.0)

IOM Order REST API 2.0 offers the two methods initially to:

  • create a new order
  • retrieve existing order states

With the introduction of this API an order can have multiple delivery addresses, so-called shipping buckets, where a shipping bucket can have:

  • a delivery address
  • a shipping method
  • charges
  • custom attributes
  • positions

Also, multiple tax entries at the same level are possible now.

Finally, for a shop, different orders can now have different currencies if they are not ordered by the same customer.

The specification can be found in the delivery doc/REST/ or at Overview - Intershop Order Management REST API.

Modified Handling of Unknown Shipping Methods

The IOM SOAP API to place an order silently ignored unknown shipping methods or mapped them to default "Unknown Shipping Method" when configured accordingly.

The IOM Order REST API 2.0 will refuse orders with unknown methods unless that mapping is defined.

See Guide - IOM Shop Onboarding | Carrier and Guide - IOM 3.1 Migration of Business Configuration for more details.
