Logiwa settings and gotchas
Lesson 14 of 28 5 min read
Configure Logiwa purchase orders, receipt status filters and depositor-based stock imports, and avoid the common mistakes.
Logiwa has a short settings guide, but each setting is a decision you need the 3PL's input on. This lesson takes them in flow order.
Logiwa Goods Inbound: what kind of purchase order?
| defaultPurchaseOrderType | The Logiwa purchase order type given to goods inbound records Supply Lens creates. |
|---|---|
| defaultPurchaseOrderStatus | The initial status of the purchase order when it is created. |
| defaultPackType | The pack type used on goods inbound lines: how items are packed on arrival. |
All three are Logiwa's own values. Ask the 3PL which purchase order type and starting status they use for supplier deliveries, and which pack type matches how your goods arrive.
Logiwa Goods Inbound Receipt: which receipts?
Receipts use the standard import window (setupDate, lastImportDate, importDelay) and
one filter:
| warehouseReceiptStatusIds | Only receipts in these Logiwa warehouse receipt statuses are imported. Empty includes all statuses. |
|---|
Import finished receipts
If receipts in every status are imported, a half-counted delivery can reach the ERP. Ask the 3PL which status id means the receipt is complete and filter to it.
Logiwa Inventory: whose stock, where?
| setupDate, lastImportDate, importDelay | The standard import window. |
|---|---|
| depositorIds | Logiwa depositor ids to include. Empty includes every depositor. |
| warehouseIds | Logiwa warehouse ids to include. Empty includes every warehouse. |
Always set depositorIds on a multi-brand 3PL
With depositorIds empty, stock for every depositor the credentials can see is imported. On a 3PL holding several brands, that means other companies' stock could land in your ERP.

Brightwell's surprise stock
Brightwell's first inventory run shows hundreds of unfamiliar products in its ERP's error
log. The 3PL's credentials can see every depositor. The implementer sets depositorIds to
Brightwell's depositor id, and the next run imports only Brightwell's stock.
Recap
- Goods inbound creates a Logiwa purchase order with a default type, status and pack type.
- Receipts can be filtered by warehouse receipt status; filter to finished ones.
- Inventory filters by depositor and warehouse; empty means everything visible.
- Set depositorIds on any multi-brand 3PL.
