Detailed Technical Description

Product Deprecation Notice

Please note that this part of the product was marked for deprecation. Please check the Deprecation Policy for details.

This Rule conditionally produces a SendEventAction. The Rule condition is defined by the "Network-Match-Check", including the following steps:

The Rule will get the Inventory Position.
It stops the execution when the Inventory Position can not be found.
The list of Networks (by
```
`id`
```
) assigned to the loaded Inventory Position Location will be retrieved.
The Rule then gets the Virtual Catalog specified in the
```
`virtualCatalogueRef`
```
, including its list of associated Networks (stored in the
```
`networkIds`
```
field).
The Networks lists mentioned (associated with the Location (point 2) and the Virtual Catalog (point 3)) will be compared. The Rule condition is met when any match case occurs.
Finally, the event
```
`{eventName}`
```
is sent to the Virtual Catalog if it passed the "Network-Match-Check".

Cross-Retailer events sending

This Rule does not support Cross-Retailer events sending.

Consider one of the following Rules if this capability is required for your implementation:

`NotifyVirtualCataloguesByRefsOnNetworksMatch`

`NotifyVirtualCataloguesOnNetworksMatch`

`NotifyVirtualCataloguesByTypesOnNetworksMatch`

Get more details with the Configure Cross-Retailer events sending for Master/Sub-Retailer(s) setup Guide.

The generated event contains the following event attributes:

Parameter	Description	Notes
`ref`	Inventory Position reference	Legacy attribute
`locationRef`	Location reference	Taken from the Inventory Position
`productRef`	Product reference	Taken from the Inventory Position
`inventoryPositionRef`	Inventory Position reference	Taken from `getEvent().getEntityRef();`
`inventoryCatalogueRef`	Inventory Catalog reference	Legacy attribute
