FFN merchants

Assign each JTL Fulfillment Network merchant and its FFN warehouse to one of your clients

In the FFN Dealer Directory (FFN Händler Übersicht) you assign each merchant of the JTL Fulfillment Network (FFN) and its FFN warehouse to one of your clients in X-Sitter. Only for assigned merchants does X-Sitter import outbound orders, products and inbound deliveries, and report shipments and goods receipts back to FFN.

Before you start

The FFN connection must exist, because merchants and warehouses are read live from FFN. See Connect JTL Fulfillment Network (FFN).
The merchant's company must be set up as your client in X-Sitter. See Clients.
Your user needs the permission JTL › FFN Dealer Directory – ask your administrator.

Good to know / Troubleshooting

Each client can be assigned to only one merchant. If you save a mapping for a client that already has one, the existing assignment is replaced.
The assignment alone does not import any orders. You also need the active FFN order job with a cut-off date, see FFN order processing.
The advance notice import uses the assignment too, together with the date Import ASNs from on the FFN connection page.
