How it works

The BirdDog E-Automate connector listens for incoming requests from E-Automate and responds with the appropriate information:

• Stock Check
  • Notes
    
    • Requests should be posted to api/inventory/stockcheck
      
    • Returns the quantity available and price for the locations configured in Site Settings>cXML>Return Locations
    • A Stock Check can consist of one or more items. A cart is built to hold the request and can also be used for reporting stock check activity
    • All stock check requests are logged with a category of API Inventory Stock Check Request
      
  • Mapping:
    • Cart.ID -> reference.code
    • "ID" -> reference.name
    • Seller -> reference.type
    • Lines -> Items - Note that an item will be returned for each location in return locations at which it is stocked
      • Item Number -> reference.code
