Web Connect Logistics Setup

Swedish Business Central view name: Web Connect Logistikinställningar

This page defines how Microsoft Business Central communicates with external logistics systems such as Warehouse Management Systems, Point-of-Sale systems, and Return & Exchange platforms.
It builds on the foundation created in Web Connect Integrations and the structure defined in Web Connect Objects.

As always: we recommend modifying object structure through Web Connect Incoming Data or Web connect Outgoing data (LÄNK) not manually on the object tree.
