The table below summarizes how data moves between Katana and NLRP for this integration.

After NLRP approves the connection, the configuration screen opens on the Location tab. Each NLRP warehouse maps 1:1 to its own dedicated Katana location. Click Add to Katana to create that location automatically.

Only mapped warehouses sync.

Product mapping creates a required link between each NLRP product and a Katana item. You choose how SKUs are matched:

Products are imported by SKU. If a product with that SKU already exists in Katana, it is matched. If the SKU is unknown, Katana creates the product just-in-time.

Kits and bundles from NLRP become Katana products. Add a BOM of the kit's components in Katana. On orders, a kit line stays a single sales order row.

A SKU alias links an NLRP SKU to a different Katana SKU. Use aliases when the same product has different SKUs in NLRP and in Katana. Upload your SKU alias mapping before importing products, so mismatched SKUs match existing items instead of creating new products.

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

Each NLRP order becomes one Katana sales order, with one row per order line. The order source is NLRP.

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

A canceled NLRP order is deleted in Katana only if the sales order is still open.

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

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

Reconciliation compares Katana's in-stock quantity with NLRP's on-hand quantity. It runs on a schedule or on demand, and creates stock adjustments for any differences. This keeps Katana's stock figures aligned with what is physically in the warehouse.

Each NLRP 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. If an inbound is canceled, its stock transfer is deleted.

Katana stock transfers have two states: in transit and received. Partial receiving shows as updated expected and received quantities until the shipment is fully received.

Go to Katana's Integrations page, open NLRP, and disconnect. Syncing of orders, products, inventory, and inbound shipments stops immediately, and Katana no longer pushes sales orders to NLRP. Records already imported into Katana stay in Katana. This includes sales orders, fulfillments, products, stock transfers, and stock adjustments.
