Odoo SPS Commerce integration, from network to ERP
If your customer put you on SPS Commerce, the documents are already flowing to a network that handles the trading partner relationship for you. What is usually missing is what happens after the document arrives, which is the Odoo side.
That Odoo side is what this page is about: which fields the order lands on, what your item numbers have to look like against your customer's, and when the ship notice goes out.
What SPS Commerce does for you
SPS Commerce is a retail EDI network. Your customer nominates it, SPS carries the trading partner relationship and the mapping to that partner's guideline, and you hold one connection to SPS while they hold the connections to the retailers.
That is the expensive half of retail EDI handled, and it is why a supplier mandated onto a network rarely leaves it. The subscription buys the partner coverage and the certification work that goes with each new retailer.

What is left on your side
Odoo says the setup is undocumented
Odoo publishes that there is no quick or easy setup documentation for its own SPS integration. That is the vendor saying in public that the setup takes real work.
The Odoo half, whichever route carries the document
Which fields the order lands on, and what your item numbers have to look like against the ones your customer uses.
The ship notice, which is the half that costs money
On the entry tier you log into their portal and build it there, from a pick list, at whatever moment somebody gets to it. That portal holds no record of what came off the trailer or when the truck left, and the notice has a window measured in hours. Every deduction on our deductions page is caused by an outbound document, and this is the one.
The morning a document arrives malformed
That is the work, and it does not disappear because the network is good. It is the part that decides whether your first month of live orders produces deductions.
Where to read the rest
The two routes are set out side by side on the home page, the documents are explained on the transaction codes page, and what a mistake costs is on the deductions page.
When you should not use us for this
If Odoo's own integration covers your documents
And it runs on your hosting, there is less to build and one fewer party in it. Worth establishing before anybody scopes anything.
If SPS can deliver the Odoo side
Within your existing relationship, that is fewer parties on one problem, which is worth something on its own.
Bring the guideline
Bring the guideline your customer sent you. Thirty minutes, Mountain Time, with the person who would do the work. You will leave knowing which parts of this are already covered by what you run and pay for, and which parts are work.
