CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor A+: what the shipped templates set up

This is the capability summary the dlake CLI repository publishes; whitelisted customers fetch the operational skill with "dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-a". It extends the dlake-crmpro-salesforce skill, which holds what is true whatever the source ERP. Both directions for this pair are summarised at /integrations/infor-a-salesforce/.

CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor A+: what the shipped templates set up

This is a capability summary, not an operating guide. To receive the operational skill you must be a registered, whitelisted Commercient customer. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-a (or list_skills) against the Commercient admin plane. Existing customers who need access or help: contact support@commercient.com. New customers: contact sales@commercient.com to become a customer and be whitelisted.

dlake-crmpro is the parent skill and the authority for everything general: the CRMPro tools, process configuration and field list, the sync history, how source data is selected, and what a run that finds nothing does. Read it first; this page does not repeat it. dlake-crmpro-salesforce is the destination skill this page is a child of, and the authority for the Salesforce conventions that hold across every ERP: read it first, then come back here for what this source’s own templates set. This page grows as the catalogue does.

1. What the templates deliver

GroupBusiness outcomeObjectsSource tables and views
AccountIn addition to creating the Account record from your ERP customer records, Commercient syncs over the entire Accounting AR Customer record into a Commercient AR Customer object which is a Managed Custom Object (MCO). A lookup field is provided to lookup to the default AR Customer record MCO from the Account record. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Account, Commercient Customer Master Managed Custom Object, Commercient Sales Rep Master Managed Custom Objectcustomers, addresses, sales reps
Customer Multi Ship AddressesIf you are using multiple ship to addresses for a given AR Customer in your ERP system then you will be able to see all the addresses inside the CRM Account screen in a Commercient Multi Ship To Address MCO related list. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Commercient addressaddresses
Sales orderCommercient will sync the Sales Orders from the ERP Sales Order Entry module to the Commercient Sales Order Header (MCO) objects in CRM. In the CRM, customer service and sales people can visualize the status of the order such as on hold, backorder, forward order, scheduled for delivery, whether it has shipped, and completion status. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Commercient Open Order Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Open Order Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Order History Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Order History Detail Managed Custom Objectopen order headers, open order lines, order history headers, order history lines

2. The process rows the templates create

Each template’s setup writes one process configuration row. These are the values it sets; a column the inserts never set is not listed.

Order History HeaderCommercient Order History Header Managed Custom ObjectCommercient external key (Infor package)11
Order History DetailCommercient Order History Detail Managed Custom ObjectCommercient external key (Infor package)12

Every one of these inserts the active setting as 0, so an imported process is inactive until an operator activates it.

3. The views

“Change detection” names which of the three kinds dlake-crmpro defines the view’s own filter makes it; where a view’s shape is not one of those three the column is left empty and the view’s own filter is the authority.

open order line feedinsert + updateopen order lines
order history feedinsert + updateorder history headers
order history line feedinsert + updateorder history lines

4. Order of work

The templates set run sequence from 1 to 12. A run processes active rows in ascending run sequence, which is the order the templates put them in:

  • 1 — Salesperson
  • 2 — Account
  • 3 — Customer
  • 4 — Account To Customer Reverse Lookup
  • 5 — Ship To Address
  • 9 — Open Order Header
  • 10 — Open Order Detail
  • 11 — Order History Header
  • 12 — Order History Detail

These views read another process’s sync output, which is what makes the order a dependency order: the row appears in the view only once the process that writes that sync output has run, so a parent flows on one run and its children on the next.

  • account feed reads salesperson sync output
  • customer account lookup feed reads customer sync output, account sync output
  • customer feed reads account sync output, salesperson sync output
  • shipping address feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • open order feed reads account sync output, salesperson sync output, customer sync output
  • open order line feed reads product sync output, item master sync output, open order sync output; no template in this set writes product sync output, item master sync output
  • order history feed reads account sync output, salesperson sync output, customer sync output
  • order history line feed reads product sync output, item master sync output, order history sync output; no template in this set writes product sync output, item master sync output

5. Field mapping

Each template carries its intended mapping in field mapping.

6. Community templates

The catalogue carries 47 community templates for this pair. A community template is authored in a tenant rather than shipped with the product, and it imports the same way as any other. Its own names, notes, field mapping and SQL are tenant content, so what this section states is what the set amounts to: how many templates there are, what they default to doing, which destination objects they write and which groups they fall in. They are not part of the shipped set described above.

  • Templates: 47
  • Default operations: insert on 47, update on 47, delete on 47
  • Marked as circular sync: 0
  • Licence groups they span: 9
  • Destination objects: Account, Product, Price book entry, Commercient address, Commercient Customer Master Managed Custom Object, Commercient Order History Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Order History Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Open Order Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Open Order Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Sales Rep Master Managed Custom Object, Opportunity, Opportunity line item, Price book object, User and 3 custom objects
  • Object display names: Account, Account To Customer Reverse Lookup, Customer, Item Master, Open Order Detail, Order History Detail, Order History Header, Product, Product To Item Reverse Lookup, Salesperson, Ship To Address, Open Order Header, 8 more and 3 further templates
  • Template groups: Product, Account, Sales order, CRM Opportunity and Line, Customer Multi Ship Addresses

7. Verifying

The detail of this section is part of the operational skill. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-a.

8. Where this sits

dlake-crmpro is the general operating surface — the CRMPro tools, the setup and transaction tables, field mapping, and the source view contract that applies to every destination. This page adds what the shipped Infor A+ → Salesforce templates set up. dlake-crmpro-salesforce is the destination skill this page sits under: its own text is the authority for the Salesforce conventions that hold across every ERP, and its ERP table lists this page alongside every sibling ERP page for this destination. For the extract leg that fills the source data, see dlake-normalsync; for the on-premises agent that runs it, dlake-syncagent; for the writeback leg, dlake-txdownloaderpro; for standing an integration up, dlake-integration-setup.
