The Oryx-RMH integration links Manage Comics with your point of sale. Manage Comics handles subscriptions, FOC, and initial orders. RMH handles the register, daily sales, and inventory at the point of sale.
What each system handles
Manage Comics: subscriptions, pulls, FOC, initial orders, distributor invoices, customer pre-orders, subscriber emails.
RMH: in-store sales, shelf inventory at the register, tax calculation, tender.
What moves between them
Products flow from Manage Comics to RMH. When you check in a shipment, products are created or updated in RMH with barcode, title, cost, price, and quantity.
Depending on your integration version, RMH sales can feed back to Manage Comics so Reserved and Available counts stay in sync.
Customers are usually kept separate. RMH and Manage Comics each have their own customer database. Subscription customers are managed in Manage Comics, walk-in customers stay in RMH.
Setup requirements
RMH 2.0 or later.
Network connectivity between the machine running Oryx (or Oryx in the cloud) and the RMH database.
A dedicated RMH user with product-creation and inventory-update permissions.
Initial integration setup is handled with Manage Comics support.
Weekly rhythm
For shops with the RMH integration live, the weekly rhythm is:
Check in a shipment in Manage Comics. Products are created and quantity is set in RMH automatically.
Pull customer copies and allocate Reserved QTY in Manage Comics.
At the register, scan customer pulls. RMH rings up the sale and inventory decrements.
Some integrations also flow RMH sales back to Manage Comics as fulfillments. Check with support to confirm whether this is configured for your shop.
