Web Ideal imports Amazon Order File into “Amazon Promo” creating orders in I3C.
IC3 Orders will not have credit card information and will not require transaction processing.
“Order Type” will need to be some form of “pre-paid”
(?) Tax information will not be passed into I3C

Ship confirmation needs to be disabled
WI creates a custom file containing “external ID (amazon order number)” and “web ideals order number” and FTP to AG’s local database (Donkey).
Web Ideals creates Amazon XML fulfillment file. AeroGrow imports the fulfillment file into a new DR Customer, set up specifically for Amazon orders.
Warehouse picks, packs & ships orders. At the end of the day an Amazon specific “shipping confirmation text file” is exported from Navision and stored locally on Accounting1 where Web Ideals can grab it. All order files are pushed to Donkey. Donkey queries for Amazon orders and sends “shipped orders” back to Seller Central.
