Reading Data from Katana - How to Use Owlery

Once Katana is connected, Owlery pulls new and changed orders automatically, along with the locations, products, and contacts needed to build complete freight orders.

What Owlery Reads

How Owlery Reads Your Katana Data

Sales orders ship from a Katana location to the order’s shipping address.
Owlery standardizes country and state values where it can.
Owlery can mark e-commerce sales orders as parcel.
Product and material units can map to quantity, weight, length, or volume.
Katana allows duplicate SKUs, so Owlery tracks each item by its Katana variant, not its SKU alone.
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.

Reliability

Each sync pulls only what changed since the last one, and Owlery paces its requests to stay within Katana’s limits. You can also refresh a single order, or import one by its Katana order or transfer number.
