Batches

Allows for ingestion of large amounts of data into ChannelApe in the form of batch requests. Business are limited to 25% of their API Account Rate Limit when processing batches concurrently (i.e. a rate limit of 5 calls per second can process 1 batch process at a time). Subsequent batch requests will be queued up and processed in order of being received.

Create a new batch

Triggers a new async batch. Default type is INVENTORY so you must provide the list of adjustments.

Only basic validation is done at the time the batch is received, such as checking for null values. All other validation happens down stream when the batch is being processed.

Fields

businessId - Business where the batch should be run.

adjustments - If batch type is INVENTORY, then list of adjustments that will be made during the batch. Maximum limit is 4000 adjustments or a 1MB request size. If more than 4000 adjustments/1MB request body are needed, the request should be split up into multiple batches.

  • idempotentKey - A unique key designated for the individual adjustment. Adjustments are deduplicated and not made when there is a duplicate idempotent key. This is to prevent duplicate adjustments being made in the system.
  • inventoryItemId - A ChannelApe system inventory item id. Must provide either this or sku.
  • sku - A sku that may or may not exist in ChannelApe. If the sku doesn't exist during a batch run, it will be created when the batch is run.
  • locationId - A ChannelApe location ID of where the adjustment should be made.
  • inventoryStatus - The status for the adjustment
  • quantity - The quantity of the adjustment. The end result of the adjustment will depend on the operation.
  • operation - Whether or not you want to overwrite the existing value(SET) or adjust relative(ADJUST)
  • aggregateChannelSync (optional)- true or false (default). If specified as true, the side affects of making adjustments to parent locations will happen. See the side effects section under "Adjust inventory item quantity" heading.
  • memo - An optional field to that describes why an adjustment is being made.

Businesses

A business in ChannelApe refers to an account created to access the platform. Some customers choose to create a separate business for each sales channel, while others group all their channels under a single business. This allows for logical grouping of orders, channels, inventory, and suppliers within the platform. Additionally, some customers may choose to segregate their businesses based on geographic location, such as North America versus Europe. Each business can have multiple users, allowing different business members to be added to each business.

Responses

Inventories > Quantities

Modify quantities at given location/status for an inventory item.

Adjust inventory item quantity

Adjusts the inventory items current quantity at a given location and status. Request will fail if the inventory item does not exist.

Note that if you set the 'effectiveAt' time to the future, it will be staged and added to the adjustments at the effective time. The staged adjustments cannot be removed or edited. You'll need to make another adjustment to negate it.

Required Request Headers

X-Channel-Ape-Idempotent-Key - A unique value linked to the request that prevents the same operation from occuring twice. Limit of 255 characters.

Required Request Fields

locationId - The location at which the quantity will be adjusted. Must be a valid ChannelApe location

quantity - The quantity to the adjust the existing quantity by.

inventoryStatus - The status of the quantity that will be adjusted.
Possible values include:

* AVAILABLE_TO_SELL
* COMMITTED
* ON_ORDER
* RESERVE
* ON_HOLD
* ON_HAND

Optional Request Fields

aggregateChannelSync - true or false. Defaults to false. If specified as true, the side affects of making adjustments to parent locations will happen. See the side effects section below.

memo - A note to describe why the adjustment was possibly made. Limit of 1000 characters.

effectiveAt - The time the adjustment should be effective. If this is in the future, this will be staged and inserted into the adjustment history log at the effective time. This can be useful for expiring adjustments by creating an adjustment that offsets an existing one.

ChannelApe does allow setting effective dates in the past, but does not rewrite the adjustment history. It will be placed in the history log at the time the adjustment is made.

expiresAt - The time the adjustment should negate itself. These are always relative to the adjustment that is made. So even if you are doing a set the future adjustment will be the opposite of that. Example a +7 adjustment on sku ABC-123 is set to expire the following day. The following day a -7 adjustment will be made when the adjustment expires.

futureAppliedAtpPercentage- If you are making adjustments in the future for reserving inventory it may be hard to know exactly what quantities you want to set and expire in the future, especially in bulk. To make this easier, the API has an option to make a future adjustment based on the total inventory you have available to promise. If you have 100 units available to promise currently and you want to reserve 5% of those you can use this field in a future adjustment to take 5% of whatever inventory you have left at the time and reserve it. So if you sell through all 100, there is nothing to reserve. If you don't sell through any and still have 100 units, it will reserve 10 leaving you 90 units to sell.

For more on inventory adjustments and how they work in ChannelApe see our Inventory Management documentation.

Side Effects

If the location you are making an adjustment for is the child of one or more parent locations and aggregateChannelSync flag is true, the same relative adjustment will be made to each parent location. Ie. +1 on the child, then a +1 for each parent. If any of the parents are associated with a real time inventory channel, then the current ATP will also be synchronized to channel. The aggregateChannelSync only applies to currently effective adjustments.

Required Fields

operation - The operation for the corresponding order. (UPDATE, CREATE, or DELETE)

result - The result for the corresponding order. (WARNING, SUCCESS, ERROR, UNCHANGED)

channelId - The Channel ID for the corresponding order. Must be a valid channel on the business, and is only required if providing order activity with a Channel Order ID.

It's called an \"essential trace elements\" because very small amounts of chromium are necessary for human health. Chromium is used in the body for optimizing blood sugar control and is essential in glucose uptake into muscle cells. The biologically active form of chromium participates in glucose metabolism by enhancing the effects of insulin. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced in the beta-cells of the pancreas. It is central to carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Insulin causes the cells in the skeletal muscles, liver, and fat tissue to absorb glucose from the blood. In the liver and skeletal muscles, glucose is stored as glycogen and in fat cells, as triglycerides. Insulin is provided in the body in a constant proportion to remove excess glucose from the blood, which otherwise would be toxic. When blood glucose levels fall below a certain level, the body begins to use stored sugar as an energy source through glycogenolysis, which breaks down the glycogen stored in the liver and muscle into glucose, which can be utilized as an energy source.</p><div class=\"directions\">Directions</div><p>Take one capsule (200 mcg) with water or your favorite beverage twice daily on an empty stomach.
