Navigate to: Admin > ERP configurator

Before we get started, to display the touchpoints of an ERP Package, Administrators will need to set the Status to "Activate" on at least one ERP Connector located in the Extension Engine.

Each ERP Package, such as "ZnodeEpicor Connector" or "ZnodeJDE Connector", has unique touch-points that may be different from one to another. Despite this, each ERP system uses the same database to access and store various types of information.

Note: Only one ERP Connector can be active at a time in Znode.

General Details

Each ERP Connector has three sections for configuration. 

• Touch-point List - a list of out-of-box touch-point triggers that can be set up on a schedule or in real-time to the ERP.
• Connector Logs - a handy log to view the details of each communication.
• Connector Settings - a section where the Administrator can manage the connection credentials to the configured ERP.
