Each sales channel has an individual order referrer. Some order referrers are available by default in your PlentyONE system. Further order referrers are added e.g. if you install a new plugin. For further information about the order referrer, see the page Order referrer of the PlentyONE manual.
Activating the order referrer for GalaxusDE:

Go to Setup » Orders » Order referrer.
-
Click Search (search).
-
In the list, navigate to the option GalaxusDE.

List of mapped warehouses |
|
PlentyONE warehouse |
The PlentyONE warehouse the products originate from. |
Galaxus GLN |
The GLN provided by Galaxus or the postcode of the respective warehouse. |
5.1. Mapping a PlentyONE warehouse to a Galaxus GLN
In the Product Stock Pricing section of the item export settings, you can map your PlentyONE warehouses to the respective Galaxus GLN. To do so, proceed as follows.
Mapping a PlentyONE warehouse to a Galaxus GLN:
-
Go to Setup » Markets » Galaxus » Item export » Product Stock Pricing.
→ The settings for the Product Stock Pricing section of the item export open. -
At the bottom in the section List of mapped warehouses, click on Create mapping (add).
-
The window Mapping a PlentyONE warehouse to a Galaxus GLN opens.
-
In the Warehouse field, select a warehouse from the drop-down list.
-
In the Galaxus GLN field, enter the GLN for the warehouse that was provided by Galaxus.
-
Click on Save.
→ The mapping is saved and added to the overview.
5.2. Default export matrix for active variations
The basic logic of Galaxus is like this:
If positive stock is transmitted, Galaxus uses the default delivery time that is saved for the account in the Galaxus back end. If an item does not have positive stock, the reorder time is used instead.
Notes:
-
Galaxus assumes an average delivery time of 2 days for items that are in stock. If an item has stock and an availability that results in a delivery time of 2 or more days, the item is exported with a stock of 0\. The delivery time is exported as the reorder time. For items with 0 or negative stock and an average delivery time of two days or less, the system assumes a configuration error and the item is not exported.
-
Item data is processed irrespective of the stock export conditions for export.
-
Bundles are not exported if one of the items in it are not in stock. Also, the exported stock amount is based on the bundle component with the highest stock.
The following table shows a default export matrix for active variations.
Net stock | Average delivery period | Result |
---|---|---|
Positive stock |
Delivery time ⇐ 2 |
Stock is exported. |
Positive stock |
Delivery time > 2 |
Only delivery time is exported. |
Positive stock |
No Delivery time |
Stock is exported. |
Stock 0/negative |
Delivery time ⇐ 2 |
No export. |
Stock 0/negative |
Delivery time > 2 |
Only delivery time is exported. |
Stock 0/negative |
No delivery time |
No export. |
6. Setting up a sales price

-
Go to Setup » Item » Sales prices.
-
Click on [+] New.

Linking the default client to the category:
-
Go to Item » Category.
-
Click on the category in the directory tree on the left.
→ The category opens and the tab Settings is shown. -

|
Activate the variation |
The variation must be active:
|
Activate the market availability |
The item availability for the market GalaxusDE must be activated:
