The table below summarizes how data moves between Katana and Amphora.

After the connection is approved, the configuration screen opens on the Location tab. Each Amphora warehouse maps 1:1 to its own dedicated Katana location.

Only mapped warehouses sync. Nothing syncs at all until you click Activate sync in the header.

Product mapping creates a required link between each Amphora product and a Katana item. Katana imports products by SKU:

You choose how SKUs are matched: direct 1:1, or through SKU aliases.

Kits and bundles from Amphora become Katana products. You can then add a BOM of components to them in Katana. A kit order line stays a single sales-order row.

A SKU alias links an Amphora SKU to a different Katana SKU. Use an alias when the same item has different SKUs in the two systems. Upload your SKU alias mapping before product import so mismatched SKUs link to the correct Katana products instead of creating new ones.

Amphora orders import once they reach the configured import-from status (default: Open). After import, they keep updating automatically through every later status change.

Each Amphora order becomes one Katana sales order, with one row per order line. The order source is shown as Amphora.

Each shipped package becomes a Katana fulfillment with its carrier and tracking number. A multi-package shipment creates one fulfillment per package, so a single order can show several fulfillments. Together, these fulfillments never exceed the ordered quantities.

If an order is canceled in Amphora, Katana deletes it only if the order is still open in Katana.

When a Katana sales order reaches the Ready for fulfillment status, Katana pushes it to Amphora as an outbound order. From then on, the imported-order flow above tracks its progress back in Katana.

Canceling the Katana sales order does not cancel the Amphora order. Changes you make in Katana after the push do not update the Amphora order.

Amphora's stock numbers appear in Katana as read-only External inventory at each mapped warehouse's location. The number shown is Amphora's on hand quantity.

Reconciliation compares Katana's in-stock quantity against Amphora's on-hand quantity only. It runs on a schedule or on demand and creates stock adjustments for any differences, keeping Katana's stock aligned with Amphora's physical stock.

Each Amphora inbound shipment becomes one Katana stock transfer. The transfer number is the PO number when one is present; otherwise, it is the inbound ID.

Stock transfers follow the inbound's status, and received quantities update the transfer. Katana stock transfers move directly from in transit to received. Partial receiving therefore shows as updated expected and received quantities until the shipment is fully received.

If an inbound is canceled in Amphora, Katana deletes its stock transfer.

To disconnect, open the Amphora integration from Katana's Integrations page. Once you disconnect, syncing stops: no new orders, fulfillments, inbound shipments, or inventory updates come in, and no sales orders are pushed to Amphora.

Records already brought into Katana remain, including sales orders, fulfillments, products, stock transfers, and stock adjustments.
