Once Katana is authorized, Owlery retrieves changed transactions and the linked master data needed to build complete freight orders.

Synchronized records

Order mapping can include IDs, order numbers, statuses, timestamps, customers or suppliers, facilities, dates, references, notes, variants, quantities, units, prices, and totals.

Account-specific interpretation

  • Sales destinations use the order shipping address; origins use Katana locations.
  • Country and state values are normalized when possible.
  • E-commerce context can identify a sales order as parcel.
  • Product and material units can map to quantity, weight, length, or volume units.
  • Katana permits duplicate SKUs, so Owlery preserves the variant ID as the stable item identity.
  • Inventory can include in-stock, committed, reorder-point, and missing-or-excess quantities by location.
Current inventory synchronization does not import Katana batch stock, lot codes, or expiration dates.

Synchronization and reliability

  • Rate pacing keeps requests within the configured Katana allowance.
  • Pagination retrieves up to 250 records per page with a page safety limit.
  • Incremental windows use update timestamps and overlap the prior successful sync.
  • Reference caching avoids repeatedly fetching the same customer, supplier, facility, or variant.
  • Stable identities use Katana record IDs for orders, facilities, and variants.
  • Targeted refresh reloads one order directly from its source record.
  • Exact lookup finds an order by Katana order or transfer number.
