Introduction

External Ship events represent when product is shipped from one Company to another. Logging a Ship event moves product item(s) from a company's current inventory to its shipped inventory tab with the status "pending", until the recipient company either receives or rejects the item(s) in their account.

How it works:

  • Option 1: a Wholechain user selects an item from their current inventory, and selects the recipient company + location as well as dispatch date.
  • Option 2: a Wholechain user creates a Batch Ship event from the Shipping / Receiving page, where they can send multiple products and items at once.
  • Option 3: The user can perform this action through the API Local image

Practical Examples

  • A shrimp processor ships 3 pallets of shrimp to a distributor’s warehouse.
  • A winery ships 500 bottles of wine to a retailer's distribution center.

Authentication

To use this API, you must include the API key in the request header. The API key is assigned to your account and ensures secure communication with the Wholechain platform.

Two API Payload Options for the External Ship Event

When using the Ship Event API, there are two distinct payload options available, depending on your needs:

1. Reference Existing Products, Trade Partners, and Locations

  • This payload is designed for users who already have their products, trade partners, and locations pre-configured within their Wholechain account.
  • It references these existing entities using their unique IDs.
  • Click here for the Reference Payload

2. Create Products, Locations, and Trade Partners On-the-Go

  • This payload is designed for users who want to dynamically create new products, trade partners, or locations directly through the API without pre-configuring them in Wholechain.
  • The API intelligently processes the payload to identify and create new entities if the provided IDs do not already exist in your account.
  • Click here for the On-the-Go Payload

Choose the option that best fits your workflow to ensure seamless integration with Wholechain.

Creating Locations, Trade Partners, and Products On-the-Go

In many cases, users may need the ability to dynamically create new locations, trade partners, or products directly within the API instead of pre-configuring them within the Wholechain platform. This is particularly useful when dealing with constantly changing locations, new trade partners, or orders that cannot feasibly be manually added to both an ERP system and Wholechain.

To address this need, we’ve introduced the "Details" object within specific sections of the API payload. This allows the API to intelligently handle new or existing entities, ensuring a seamless and flexible experience.

How It Works

Details Section

The "Details" section is used to provide additional metadata for locations, trade partners, or products. The behavior of the API depends on whether the IDs in the payload already exist in your Wholechain account. Here’s how the process works:

1. ID Matching Logic:

  • If the ID in the payload already exists in your Wholechain account, the API will skip over the "Details" section and use the pre-existing information from your Wholechain system.
  • If the ID is new (i.e., it does not exist in your Wholechain account), the API will use the information in the "Details" section to create a new location, trade partner, or product.

2. Mix-and-Match Capabilities:

  • You can mix new and existing entities within the same API request. For example:
    • Use a new location ID with details for creation.
    • Reference an existing trade partner ID without additional details.
    • Reference an existing product ID while creating a new location or trade partner.

3. Required Fields for New Entities:

  • When creating a new entity (location, trade partner, or product), provide an ID that does not currently exist in your Wholechain account. Include additional metadata in the "Details" section (e.g., name, address, GLN, and other relevant fields).

Example Payload Behavior

ShipFromLocation

  • If the ShipFromLocation.Id exists in your Wholechain account:
  • The API skips the "Details" section and pulls the existing location information.
  • If the ShipFromLocation.Id does not exist:
  • The API reads the "Details" section to create a new location.

TradePartner in ShipFromLocation

  • If the TradePartner.Id exists in your Wholechain account:
  • The API skips the trade partner details and references the existing data.
  • If the TradePartner.Id is new:
  • The API uses the trade partner information from the "Details" section to create a new trade partner.

ProductInstances

  • If the Product.Id exists in your Wholechain account:
  • The API skips the product details and references the existing product information.
  • If the Product.Id is new:
  • The API creates a new product based on the details provided in the payload.

Key Considerations

  • Ensure that IDs for new entities (locations, trade partners, products) are unique and do not conflict with existing IDs in your Wholechain account.
  • The "Details" section provides flexibility to dynamically create new entities while still allowing references to existing ones.
  • If a field is skipped (e.g., "Details" for an existing ID), no changes will be made to the existing entity in Wholechain.
