Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
A shipment created in SAP S/4 HANA confirms itself to Amazon with its carrier reference, so an order that physically left the warehouse this morning is not still counted as late by the channel.
Getting an Amazon order into SAP S/4 HANA is the half most businesses build first, and the half that costs them is the confirmation going back. S/4 creates the outbound delivery and the shipment as documents of their own, separate from the sales order, so the goods can be picked, packed and gone while the channel still shows nothing dispatched. The metrics that decide whether you keep selling are calculated on what the channel was told, not on what happened. Connecting SAP S/4 HANA and Amazon closes the loop, so despatch is confirmed from the document that records it.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Marketplace orders
Outbound deliveries
Shipment records
Carrier references
Available quantity
Order confirmations
Confirmation reaches Amazon from the SAP S/4 HANA shipment record rather than from somebody working a list, so what the channel knows and what the warehouse did match.
The carrier reference travels with the confirmation, so a customer chasing a parcel is answered from the reference the shipment carries in SAP S/4 HANA, not a tracking sheet.
Because the confirmation follows the outbound delivery, an order picked in two shipments is reported as it actually happened instead of waiting until the last part ships.
Available quantity is published from the locations you nominate, so the channel offers what a warehouse can genuinely ship rather than a total nobody can fulfil at once.
When SAP S/4 HANA records a shipment against an outbound delivery, Alumio confirms the despatch to Amazon with its carrier reference, so the channel learns the goods have gone at the point the warehouse says so.
An order picked in two parts is confirmed twice, each from its own SAP S/4 HANA delivery, so the customer sees the first parcel move rather than waiting on a single confirmation that only fires when everything ships.
Amazon orders are created in SAP S/4 HANA as they arrive with the marketplace and fulfilment detail attached, so the warehouse works from the ERP and the channel reference is preserved for the confirmation later.
Alumio sits between sales channels and fulfillment systems as a governed integration backbone. Orders are routed, transformed, and validated, while status updates return to every channel.
Authenticate your systems using Alumio's pre-built connectors. Choose from 200+ connector packages in the marketplace, plus unlimited custom integrations.
Define how data fields map between systems in a visual interface. Adjust formats, enrich records, and apply business logic, no custom code required.
Configure flows to run in real time on events, on a schedule, or both. Reduce manual data entry and let Alumio handle movement and transformation between systems.

Once your first integration is live, adding your ERP, PIM, WMS, or CRM connects to the same hub. Existing flows keep running. No rebuilding from scratch.
What the channel demands after the sale is where the next connection tends to come from, and for anybody shipping across a border that is landed cost. A customs and duty service is the common addition, because the despatch confirmed to Amazon is also the despatch that needs paperwork, and SAP S/4 HANA holds the shipment while the duty calculation sits outside it. Alumio holds both connections, so one shipment record feeds the confirmation and the declaration.
The despatch event is what triggers it, not the order status. Alumio reads shipment records as SAP S/4 HANA creates them against an outbound delivery and confirms each one to Amazon with its carrier reference and quantity. Because the shipment is a separate document, a part despatch confirms on its own rather than waiting for the rest of the order, which is what the channel is measuring.
No, and the shape of it is two documents rather than one. An Amazon order becomes a SAP S/4 HANA sales order, and the confirmation comes from the delivery and shipment created against it, so the configuration is a mapping between documents rather than a script that watches a status. Where a business has an unusual despatch process, custom logic remains available through the Code Transformer for that step alone.
The despatch, confirmed from the shipment rather than from the order. SAP S/4 HANA records the outbound delivery and the shipment as their own documents, so the sales order can look unchanged while the goods are already in a van, and Amazon only knows what it has been told. Sending the confirmation and its carrier reference at the point the shipment exists is what keeps the channel's view and the warehouse's view the same.
The parcel left and the channel never heard, which is the expensive version because nothing internally looks wrong. Alumio monitors each confirmation in real time and logs the SAP S/4 HANA shipment it read, so a confirmation Amazon does not accept raises an immediate alert naming the shipment and the reason. Retries run where configured, alerts cover no activity per route, and unconfirmed shipments stay listed, so none is silently missing.
