Send Orders

Send Orders to Win-Tron Electronics (Standard Platform)

The Win-Tron Electronics - Send Orders tool lets you seamlessly send purchase orders (POs) or fulfillment requests (FRs) to Win-Tron Electronics on the Standard platform. This process ensures your orders are transmitted accurately and efficiently. Here’s how it works, broken down into three simple steps:
Step 1: Connect an Integration
First, we need to establish a secure connection to Win-Tron Electronics to send your orders. Here’s what you’ll do:
- Choose Your Integration: Select "Win-Tron Electronics (BETA)" from a list of available integrations. You’ll see other options, but for this, we’ll focus on Win-Tron.
- Set Up a Connection: Create a new connection (e.g., named "Win-Tron Electronics FTP") using FTP credentials. You’ll need to provide:
- FTP Host: The server address, like ftp.wintron.com (required).
- FTP Username: Your username, such as wintron_user (required).
- FTP Password: A secure password, like securepass123 (required). (You can toggle to show the password if needed!)
- Test and Save: Click the "Test Connection" button to ensure everything works, then hit "Save Connection" to proceed.

Connection Options:
- Already have a connection? You can select it (e.g., "Win-Tron Electronics FTP") or edit it if needed.
- Need to switch? Use the "Change Integration" button to pick a different setup.
- Note: Win-Tron Electronics (BETA) requires a separate connection for the Send Orders operation.
