Check eShopCONNECTED Order Status

To enable the status of Sales Orders, Invoices and Credit Notes to be checked by external systems following their import into Connected Business, the eShopCONNECTED Web Service provides a web function which will accept an XML query message and return the status of the relevant Sales Orders, Invoices and Credit Notes imported using the Generic XML Web Import source.

The eShopCONNECTED installer will have added an eShopCONNECTED virtual directory in Internet Information Server (IIS) in the default web site of the computer where the installation was carried out, or if there are multiple web sites, you will have been asked to select the web site for the creation of the eShopCONNECTED virtual directory.

Assuming that the chosen web site had a URL of www.MyServer.com, the eShopCONNECTED Generic Status Check web service will have a URL of www.MyServer.com/eShopCONNECT/GenericImportStatus.ashx. Replacing www.MyServer.com with the root URL for the chosen web site on your network will give you the eShopCONNECTED Generic Status Check web service URL on your network.

The eShopCONNECTED Web Service accepts XML data in the form of an HTTP Web Post and the XML data is processed in real time.  Each record in the XML data is processed separately and the response from the web service function will contain details of either the Connected Business Sales Order, Invoice or Credit Note created, or the error encountered.

For test purposes, the eShopCONNECTED installation includes a Web Import Test page. See eShopCONNECTED Web Import Test topic for more details.
