This integration is used to update the product balance by the external system. The specification is illustrated as the number 5 below.
The integration supports comparison of two different type of balance.
The default is physical balance comparison. Physical balance in external warehouse is compared to physical balance in Extend. This works well when the warehouse does not have any other order sources affecting the available balance, or if balance is synchronized on a night schedule where no open orders are allowed to exist over night (which might be hard to guarantee)
If the warehouse receives orders from other systems, or by manual orders, excel files or a like, it might be better to compare available balance.
The available balance in extend is calculated as physical balance - the balance reserved against the warehouse currently being compared. Incoming orders (not yet reserved) are not affecting the available balance in this scenario, since the external warehouse does not yet know about these orders, and as a result they are not yet affecting the available balance in the external warehouse.
