Movilitas.Cloud offers the portability of the supplier and client configurations between environments within the Serialized Logistics application. The users can transfer the supplier and client configurations from the test environment to the production (live) environment. The function accelerates the tenant setup in the production (live) environment.


The transfer consists of two steps:


1. Export the supplier and client configurations of the test environment to separate CSV files.


2. Import the CSV files of the supplier and client configurations into the production (live) environment. 


After the import, you can do the mapping:

  • Match the channels from the file with the channels of the tenant where the import is performed.
  • Confirm the AS2 ID (partner) taken from the file for each affected supplier and client (if AS2 applies).
