Configurations are as follows

Edits as needed

Field	Description
Product Store Name	This is the name of the company. If the company has multiple brands, this should be the name of one brand. Make sure to update this before proceeding.
Currency	Fetch it from the organization’s Google form. Generally, it is USD.
Auto Approve Order	By default, its value is N. Based on the business rules whether auto-approval of orders needs to be enabled or disabled, its value can be set from the dropdown as Y or N.
Auto Cancel Days	The default value is 0, indicating no auto-cancel days should be applied. If needed, enter the total number of days after which an order should be auto-canceled if it remains unallocated.
Sales Order ID Prefix	This should be checked with the retailer if they have a preference. Adding a prefix to the internal ID helps visually separate purchase orders and sales orders.
Allow Split	By default, allow split is set to Y. If we need not allow the order split, its value can be set from the dropdown as Y or N. Based on this, the orders will be split, and multiple shipments will be created.
Product Identifier	This setting changes which identification of a product to use as its primary internal name in HotWax Commerce.
External ID	The ID of the store in the external system, generally a subsidiary in ERPs.

Do not edit these fields

Field	Description
Reserve Inventory	OMS serves as the definitive source for inventory information, and as such, this setting should consistently remain at its default value of Y without alteration.
Enable Brokering	Disabling brokering hinders OMS from optimizing inventory allocation for orders, defeating its intended purpose. Therefore, this setting should always be maintained at its default value of Y and should not be modified.
Explode Order Items	This setting changes if multi-quantity order items are exploded into single-quantity items. The default value for this setting is "Y" indicating that it is enabled, it should not be changed to "N", as many flows of the OMS are not tested for this setting.
External ID	Most retailers will never need this. Adding it will not break any flows but since it is not part of the required data setup, it's recommended to leave it blank.
