The table below summarizes each data type and the direction it flows between Katana and Whiplash (Ryder).

After Whiplash (Ryder) approves the connection, the configuration screen opens on the Location tab. Each Whiplash (Ryder) warehouse maps 1:1 to its own dedicated Katana location.

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

Product mapping creates the required link between each Whiplash (Ryder) product and a Katana item. You can match SKUs in one of two ways:

Products are imported by SKU. If a Katana product already has the SKU, it's matched. If the SKU is unknown, Katana creates the product just-in-time.

Kits and bundles become Katana products. Add a bill of materials (BOM) with the components in Katana. On a sales order, a kit line stays a single sales-order row.

An SKU alias links a Whiplash (Ryder) SKU to a different Katana SKU. Use one when the same item has different SKUs in the two systems, for example a legacy or warehouse-specific code. Upload your SKU alias mapping before importing products so mismatched SKUs match existing Katana items and don't create new products.

Orders import once they reach the configured import-from status (by default, the Open state). After import, they keep updating automatically through every later status change. Each Whiplash (Ryder) order becomes one Katana sales order, with one row per order line. The order source is Whiplash (Ryder).

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

If a Whiplash (Ryder) order is canceled, Katana deletes the matching sales order only if that sales order is still open.

When a Katana sales order reaches the Ready for fulfillment status, Katana pushes it to Whiplash (Ryder) as an outbound order. From then on, its progress is tracked back in Katana like an imported order.

Whiplash (Ryder) stock levels appear in Katana as read-only External inventory at each warehouse's mapped location. The number shown is the warehouse's on-hand quantity. You can't edit it in Katana.

Reconciliation compares Katana's in-stock quantity with the Whiplash (Ryder) on-hand quantity. It runs on a schedule or on demand. When the numbers differ, Katana creates stock adjustments so your Katana stock levels match the warehouse.

Each Whiplash (Ryder) inbound shipment becomes one Katana stock transfer. The transfer number is the PO number when there is one. Otherwise, it's the inbound ID.

The stock transfer follows the inbound's status, and received quantities update the transfer. Katana stock transfers have two states: in transit and received. Partial receiving therefore shows as updated expected and received quantities until the shipment is fully received. If an inbound is canceled, Katana deletes its stock transfer.

Go to Katana's Integrations page, open the Whiplash (Ryder) tile, and disconnect. Syncing stops immediately: no new orders, inbounds, or stock levels are imported, and no sales orders are pushed. Records already in Katana stay, including sales orders, fulfillments, stock transfers, and products.
