Blue Water 3PL Connector enables you to manage your Blue Water Shipping third-party logistics warehouse locations as part of your sales and purchase processes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The Blue Water 3PL Connector is a combination of the 3PL Manager app in Business Central and the Blue Water connector in Microsoft Power Automate.

Send Sales Orders and Warehouse Shipments to Blue Water for shipment.
Direct Purchases to the Blue Water warehouse and stay in control in your Business Central.

The 3PL process

If the item was in your own warehouse, you would send the picking instruction to a scanner. But when the item is in a third party warehouse, you simple select "Send to 3PL".

This way, you ask your external warehouse to manage this order and ship it to the customer. The functionality in Business Central is identical for both cases - you just have someone else to ship it.

When the warehouse has shipped your order, your Business Central receives an update, and the Warehouse Shipment (or Inventory Pick or Sales Order depending on your configuration) in Business Central is updated. On the document you can see the 3PL status: 'Received at warehouse', and later 'Shipped'.

The similar functionality is available for Purchase Orders and Purchase Receipts. When you purchase items, you send the purchase to the 3PL warehouse to let them know. And when the items arrive, your Business Central is notified that the items are received and available.

New 3PL-suppliers

It is easy to enable a new 3PL-supplier integration. Some are available as connectors ready to use, but if you use a 3PL-supplier we have not encountered previously, we can configure the integration in a few days work.
