Inventory

 

If you are using Dynamic Slotting, this section will explain the basic mutations and queries available:

Also, for managing Inventory through our API we have two powerful tools:

Managing Inventory on Dynamic Slotting Accounts

 

If you are using Dynamic Slotting, you might need to use the following queries & mutations when managing Inventory:

Location Query

This query will allow you to get the location’s name, warehouse_id or type by using the location’s id .

query {
  location(id: "QmluOjIyNDMwNDY=") {
    request_id
    complexity
    data {
      legacy_id
      name
      warehouse_id
      type {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

You should get something like this:

{
  "data": {
    "location": {
      "request_id": "5f5692457acb6db59e0d556e",
      "complexity": 1,
      "data": {
        "legacy_id": 2243046,
        "name": "01PE06CC02",
        "warehouse_id": "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw",
        "type": {
          "name": "Bin"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Locations Query

This query will allow you to navigate through all the locations on a specific warehouse, for example, for warehouse_id = “V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw” if you try the following query:

query {
  locations(warehouse_id: "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw") {
    request_id
    data {
      edges {
        node {
          id
          name
          zone
          type {
            name
          }
          pickable
          sellable
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You should get something like this:

{
  "data": {
    "locations": {
      "request_id": "5ecbfee8e0e42dd4a4e13928",
      "data": {
        "edges": [
           {
            "node": {
              "id": "QmluOjE0OTQxMDg=",
              "name": "Bin BO",
              "zone": "A",
              "type": "Pallet storage",
              "pickable": false,
              "sellable": false
            }
          },
          {
            "node": {
              "id": "QmluOjEGehEDg=",
              "name": "Bin-A1",
              "zone": "A",
              "type": "Pallet storage",
              "pickable": true,
              "sellable": true
            }
          }]
}}}}

Locations list for a specific Product Query

If you need to get all the existing locations for a specific SKU, you can use the location’s connection on the Product Query, for example, for SKU:”1122334458″

query {
  product(sku: "1122334458") {
    request_id
    data {
      sku
      name
      warehouse_products {
        warehouse_id
        locations {
          edges {
            node {
              location_id
              quantity
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And the response should be all of its locations on the different warehouses:

{
  "data": {
    "product": {
      "request_id": "5ecc00a2075127485340d212",
      "data": {
        "sku": "1122334458",
        "name": "Test Product 4",
        "warehouse_products": [
          {
            "warehouse_id": "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw",
            "locations": {
              "edges": [
                {
                  "node": {
                    "location_id": "QmluOjE0OTQxMDg=",
                    "quantity": 0
                  }
                },
                {
                  "node": {
                    "location_id": "QmluOjE0OTQxMTM=",
                    "quantity": 18387
                  }
                }]
}}}}}}

Create a new Location Mutation

If you need to create a new Location, you can use the location_create mutation, for example:

mutation {
  location_create(data: {
    warehouse_id: "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw",
    name: "Bin-12345"
    zone: "C2"
    pickable: false
    sellable: false
  }) {
    request_id
    location {
      name
      zone
      type {
        name
      }
      pickable
      sellable
    }
  }
}

Update an existing Location Mutation

You can also edit the settings on an existing location by using the location_update mutation and using the location_id, for example:

mutation {
  location_update(data: {
    location_id: "123BVerb3456jnx"
    pickable: true
    sellable: true
  }) {
    request_id
    location {
      name
      zone
      type {
        name
      }
      pickable
      sellable
    }
  }
}

Inventory add / Inventory remove Mutations

When removing or adding inventory for a specific SKU on a location, you can use both inventory_add and inventory_remove mutations. They both work similar, for example:

mutation {
  inventory_add(data: {
    sku: "1122334458",
    warehouse_id: "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw",
    location_id: "QmluOjE0OTQxMDg="
    quantity: 1
    reason: "Test removing inventory from Public API"
  }) {
    request_id
    warehouse_product {
      locations {
        edges {
          node {
            location_id
            quantity
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If you are going to perform this on a 3PL account you should also include the customer_account_id

Inventory Replace Mutation

This mutation works similar to what add or remove does, but it replaces the existing inventory on that location, for example:

mutation {
  inventory_replace(data: {
    sku: "1122334458",
    warehouse_id: "V2FyZWhvdXNlOjExNzkw",
    location_id: "QmluOjE0OTQxMDg="
    quantity: 5
    reason: "Testing replacing inventory from Public API"
    includes_non_sellable: False
  }) {
    request_id
    warehouse_product {
      locations {
        edges {
          node {
            location_id
            quantity
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

Thi action will replace all the inventory for that Location on the Warehouse.
If the action is performed on a 3PL account, customer_account_id should also be included.
