Order Routing Configuration

Configuration for routing an order from a specific ICM Organization/Channel to a certain Legal Entity in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations:

# Order routing configuration

intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.[n].icm.urn.pattern=
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.[n].backend.system.ID=
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.[n].backend.system.tenant=
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.[n].backend.system.URL=

Example
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.1.icm.urn.pattern=urn:order:ICM:inSPIRED:inTRONICS
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.1.backend.system.ID=XYZ.dynamics.com
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.1.backend.system.tenant=demf
intershop.ordersubmission.order.routing.1.backend.system.URL=XYZ.dynamics.com

Managed Service Configuration

In order to connect the Order Submission Microservice with the ICM, a managed order submission service has to be configured.

Note

The microservice allows configuration of one Dynamics 365 tenant. If this maps to one ICM sales channel, create the managed service at channel level.

If multiple sales channels (within one ICM organization) are connected to the same Dynamics 365 tenant, you can also create the managed service at organization level and enable sharing.

To create a service configuration (set technical configuration):

  1. Go to the Commerce Management application: Sales Organization | Services.
  2. Create a new service configuration for the order submission service (and enable sharing).
  3. Set the order submission service specific settings:
  • Microservice URI e.g., Eureka service URI 'service://orderSubmission'.

Feature Overview

Communication schema - ICM → Order Submission Microservice

ICM exposes a complete but generic order in JSON format. This means that the order contains all available data as well as data that is stored at the order and its line items in the context of a customization.

The communication between ICM and the Microservice is asynchronous in order to avoid timeouts due to the fact that the Microservice has to create an order in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations using several requests.

Communication schema - ICM → Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

The Microservice splits the generic order provided by ICM into several OData requests for the following OData entries of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations:

  • SalesOrderHeader
  • SalesOrderLine

The communication between the Microservice and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is synchronous.

Data Mapping

The following table lists supported data mappings/workflows between ICM and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations as well as limitations. These limitations mainly origin from the fact that Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations does not support numerous standard features provided by ICM:
