Installation

To install Acumatica, you need to create an access user on your Acumatica account & create a client Application. The process below describes how to create a client application and get your Client ID and Client Secret.

Create Access User

First, we need to create a user on your Acumatica account. This access user credential will be used by EvoX to complete the OAuth Authentication with Acumatica and gain access to necessary modules.

N.B- Created user should be have unique username e.g (EvoXUser) and preferably use the same email as the error notification email receiver (More on this here)

Create Client Application On Acumatica

  1. From your created user account, go to More Items Integration. On the integrations page, click Show All Connected Applications.

2. Fill the Connected Application form by providing

  • Client Name

  • For the OAuth 2.0 Flow option, select "Resource Owner Password Credentials"

3. Create a Client Secret by clicking on the ADD SHARED SECRET Add Description. Copy the Client Secret value at the end of the modal and click OK

4. Click the Save Button. This action generates the Client ID. Copy the Client ID generated.

N.B: the client ID must include an auto-generated string and the ID of the company, such as 88358B02-A48D-A50E-F710-39C1636C30F6@MyCompany

5. Add a New Field to Acumatica Sales Order Endpoint
Integration->Web Service Endpoint->[production-endpoint]

Note: The OrderTemplate field is required to use the app store Order Type configuration.
In the following screen you can find the Order types for Credits and Returns

Test Integration settings

By clicking the button "Test Settings" you can validate if the settings you saved are correct.

N.B: This should be used after every Installation/Update of the App settings to make sure the ERP connection is configured correct.

Live Pricing

Enable Live Pricing from Acumatica by navigating to Settings → General

and go to Store Preferences tab. Scroll to the Live Pricing section and fill the following form inputs:

  • Provider: Choose Acumatica from the dropdown list

  • Token: Pre-Populated, no changes needed

  • Endpoint Url: Pre-Populated, no changes needed

  • Enable Live Pricing For All Accounts: Toggle to enable live pricing for any accounts created via the API or EvoLink

EHF Checkout Fees

With the Acumatica App installed, we do a live lookup of Environmental Handling Fees (EHF) on each items in a Cart during checkout. The EHF Live Lookup happens after the Shipping Option Tab in Checkout, and adds fees to the Cart based on the following conditions:

  1. For each order item, a live call is made to Acumatica to get all fees related to the item.

  2. From the related fees gotten, a fee is then added as external line item on the order WHEN:

    1. The fee is a provincial fee and the province on the shipping address of the order is the same as the fee. A provincial fee would have the Province Code as the first two letters of the Fee Name e.g (BC0045 is a British Columbia Only Fee with BC meaning British Columbia).

      OR

    2. The fee is a country wide fee and the Country on shipping address of the order is the same country as the fee. A country wide fee for Canada would have the Fee Name starting with CX e.g (CX0025) while for the United States starts with UX e.g (UX0040)
