You can integrate Sterling Order Management with WebSphere Commerce using either Direct Integration or IBM® WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB) integration. With Direct Integration, the functions to convert message content and format are performed by services in the Sterling Order Management Service Definition Framework (SDF). For information about using Direct Integration to integrate Sterling Order Management with WebSphere Commerce, see Direct Integration with WebSphere Commerce.

The following table shows the default mappings between WebSphere Commerce fields and SSFS fields:

General mapping rules
WebSphere Commerce field	SSFS field
UOM – C62	UOM – EACH
Item Part Number	Item Id
Online and Physical Store Names	Shipping node Identifier
Shipping Mode Code	Carrier Service Code
Fulfillment Center name	Shipping node identifier
Reservation Id	Inventory Reservation Id = `"WC_" + WC Order No`
Order Id	SSFS Order No = `"WC_" + WC Order Id`
Order Item Id	Order Line No
Buyable=N	Item validation rule on. Effective dates in SSFS must be defined for these items. If Buyable=N, then the item does not appear in the WebSphere® Commerce storefront and customers are not able to add it to cart. To control whether an item is buyable or not, the item must be created in Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Suite and the effective dates must be supplied.
