Using Rhythm for Commerce with SyteLine

Rhythm for Commerce with SyteLine provides the tools and the data that you need to create a website that your customers use to place orders.

SyteLine is the system of record for master data about customers (including shipping and billing information), items, codes, and locations. It shares this information with Rhythm for Commerce.

While customers are using the Rhythm-generated web site to place an order or view information about an order, this information is available in real-time:

  • Price information when items are displayed in the product catalog and the shopping basket. The prices provided by SyteLine can be scenario-specific,meaning that prices particular to a customer (group), currency, or quantity can be supplied.
  • Information on the order header level price values, including gross and net totals, discounts, and taxes/charges with textual labels or descriptions of each discount and charge.

    The computation of order totals displayed in Rhythm for Commerce is based solely on rules and configurations defined in SyteLine.

  • Item availability information on each warehouse, depending on the requested quantity and required date of delivery. A request can be made either on the default warehouse or on all warehouses.
  • Item quantity availability information on each warehouse, depending on the requested item and warehouse.

After the customer order is completed, Rhythm for Commerce sends the sales order information to SyteLine, where it is used to create a customer order and an invoice. Invoice and shipment information are sent to Rhythm so the customer can view updates.
