        • Facility ID

      4. Click 'Save'. Your portal is now successfully connected with 3PL Central.

        • Note: If you lack the above REST API Keys, contact the relevant 3PL Central Warehouse and request REST API access from their 3PL Central Customer Success Manager.

      There are two types of triggers available in the option, providing you with the flexibility to select one according to your business process.

      1. Sales Order Status Update – If this trigger is selected, then you'll need to select a status at which you want the integration to initiate the syncing of Orders into 3PL Central.

      2. Goods Out Note Created – If this trigger is selected, then whenever you create a Goods Out Note against a sales order, the integration will initiate the syncing of the Order into 3PL Central. (Partial Goods Out Notes are not currently supported).

      5. Match Brightpearl Products to 3PL Central Items: Our portal matches Brightpearl products to 3PL Central items using the unique ID. You can select a field from both platforms where you store the unique ID of your product/item.


      6. Settings for Bundled Products: If you have any bundled products, use this setting to convert bundle items into individual child items. Does your 3PL Central Warehouse maintain bundled items as in Brightpearl? If not, our integration can convert the bundled items of your order and send only the child items of the bundle. Simply switch this setting to 'ON' and you're all set!

      7. Add Items to Skip List for Syncing to 3PL Central: Some products/items like shipping fees, additional sales tax, or other charges may be added to orders but are irrelevant for order shipments. Use this option to add such items to the SKIP LIST, excluding them from being sent to 3PL Central with your orders.

      8. Set Up a Default Warehouse in Brightpearl for Integration with 3PL Central: Under this setting, select a warehouse that corresponds to the 3PL Central Warehouse. Only orders associated with this selected Brightpearl warehouse will be synced to 3PL Central.
