Challenges Faced
As an upcoming company looking to embrace Salesforce, among their first requirements, the enterprise needed to mirror their invoice items in Xero as order line items under Salesforce in real-time. They needed to see all order items under relevant product categories to track expenditure patterns.
The other precedence was individual and consolidated PDFs of selected orders with a custom design to replicate the essence of their company webpage for staff experience.
Key Improvement for Client
The Solutions:
Chiefly, a rest API callout was written to sync Products, Accounts and Contact between Xero and the Salesforce instance for tabulated Orders, Product Variants, and Order Details to come up under each Product Type.
Then, VisualForce PDFs renders were deployed to list Orders, details of Product Variants and Shipping details as row entries on the Org’s standard List view page. From here, selection through radio buttons would generate a consolidated PDF of these records for more accessible inspection. Likewise, another similar VisualForce page would bring up details of Individual Orders.
