Connecting Prediko

Prediko is a tool for purchase and inventory planning. With the connection, Stockhub fetches your purchase orders from Prediko and prepares them as inbounds. If you switch it on, Stockhub sends the received quantities back to Prediko. You create the connection yourself in the customer portal.

Prediko is a paid connection. You pay an amount per connection, per month. You can only create the connection once the fulfilment company has set that price.

Creating an API key in Prediko

1. Log in to the Prediko Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings > API Keys.
3. Click Create API Key and give the key a recognisable name, for example Stockhub.
4. Copy the key. Prediko shows the key only once. If you lose it, create a new one.

What the connection does

Stockhub synchronises with Prediko every five minutes.

• Purchase orders become inbounds: Stockhub fetches the purchase orders that have the status Approved or Confirmed in Prediko. For each purchase order, Stockhub creates a supplier inbound, with the order number from Prediko as the reference and the delivery date from Prediko.
• Suppliers: Stockhub looks up the supplier by name. If the supplier does not exist in Stockhub yet, Stockhub creates it.
• Products by SKU: Stockhub links each order line to the product with the same SKU. If the SKU is not in Stockhub, that line is skipped. So make sure the SKUs in Prediko and Stockhub are the same.
• Changes: if the delivery date or the supplier of a purchase order that is already an inbound in Stockhub changes in Prediko, Stockhub updates the inbound. Changed quantities or new lines are not taken over.
• Received quantities back to Prediko: if Sync Successful Inbound is set to Yes, Stockhub sends the received quantities of the inbound to Prediko. Prediko then sees the purchase order as partially or fully received. If the setting is No, Stockhub sends nothing back.

Changing the settings later
