Getting Started
A quick tour of the WMS Sync window so you know what you're looking at the first time you open it.
Opening WMS Sync Hub
From the AutoCount main menu: Operation → WMS Sync Hub → WMS Sync.
After opening, the window defaults to the Item Code Sync page (because the entire sync flow starts from item master).
The window at a glance
You'll see three main areas:
-
Green header (top). Shows the current page title (e.g. "WMS Sync Hub / Item Code Sync"), so you always know which menu you're on.
-
Left navigation bar. Six menus:
- Item Code Sync — push items to WMS (first step of the flow)
- PO → ASN Sync — tell WMS to expect incoming goods
- Picking List Sync — send picking notes to WMS
- Cancel Picking Job — stop pickings you don't want
- Sync Log — every transaction with WMS (full request/response captured)
- About — version, check-for-updates
-
Toolbar on each tab. Common buttons:
- Start Sync / Stop Sync — master switch for that tab's worker
- Sync Now — push the ticked rows immediately (with confirmation dialog)
- Retry Failed — reset selected "errored" rows back to pending (with confirmation)
- Filter — filter the table by date / keyword
Footer status indicator
A small status bar at the very bottom of the main window:
WMS Sync Hub v1.6.4 · API v1.6.4 · ✓ Connected
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
✓ Connected | green | Everything OK; API reachable |
⚠ Mismatch | yellow | Plugin version and API version differ. Ask Solution Provider to align them |
API unreachable | red | Backend API service is down. Ask Solution Provider to restart it |
Search + Enter key
Every grid has a Filter button + Search textbox above it.
- Type any keyword (item code, picking note number, PO number, customer name…)
- Press Enter = same as clicking Filter; applies the filter immediately
Check for Updates (auto-upgrade)
- Click About in the left navigation
- Click Check for Updates in the dialog
- If there's a newer version, follow the prompt to install; the API restarts automatically afterward
When to use WMS Sync Hub
- Every morning: open the window, check that the footer is green
✓ Connected. - Before knock-off: go to Sync Log, filter today, look for red ✗ errors.
- After major AutoCount changes (new items, bulk PO import, customer cancellations): go to the relevant menu and confirm the changes synced through.
If this is your first time
Solution Provider should already have done these:
- Installed the WMS Sync Hub
.appvia AutoCount's Plug-in Manager - Installed the API as a Windows Service
- Filled in the WMS partnerId / partnerKey / customerCode / warehouseCode
- Configured the public webhook endpoint (Cloudflare Tunnel or similar)
You don't need to install anything yourself. If a menu is missing or the footer is red, that's a Solution Provider issue — pass it on.
