We’re excited to share that you’ve received this notification because Data Consumers (distributors or service providers) want to integrate with one or more of your Order Services. These services can include support for purchase orders, order statuses, and order shipping notifications. Because you support one or more of these services in OneSource, your partners can request to connect their order management systems to you.
Why do Data Consumers use this?
Distributors and service providers use these automated integrations to:
Centralize Orders: Manage all their procurement in one place.
Ensure Accuracy: Reduce manual entry errors and shipping discrepancies.
Increase Efficiency: Enable their teams to work faster and more reliably.
Why do I need to approve the request?
Before a Data Consumer can integrate you into their system and start sending electronic orders and/or receiving order updates, you must formally approve their access request. The OneSource approval process ensures you are able to identify data consumers attempting to connect and allows you to maintain control over who is ultimately able to integrate with your Order Services.
How to Approve a Request
The approval process depends on how your Order Services are hosted.
