Communication between Infor WMS Warehouse Management module and Infor SPS

Infor WMS Warehouse Management and Infor SPS communicate using Infor SPS's published API messages. WM sends an API request message and for every request, Infor SPS sends back an API response message. Two types of API requests are supported - SHIP and VOID.

SHIP API request directs Infor SPS to rate and label the package and VOID API request directs Infor SPS to void a package which was rated earlier.

The standard SPS API messages are designed to handle the most common parcel shipment requirements. The information below describes the standard message formats and data sources for API requests sent from the WM module. SPS API Override Strategies can be defined if additional data is needed for custom label formats, or if the standard data values must be replaced with other values. SPS API Override Strategies can be set up to override certain field values, or to override or add values conditionally based on related data from the Order, Ship To, Carrier, and so on.

This section describes the outbound messages passed to Infor SPS. Several inbound REST APIs are available for passing data from Infor SPS into WMS.
