Overview

Conditionally send an event (or multiple events) to the Virtual Catalog(s) specified by their References, which passed the "Network-Match-Check".A Virtual Catalog passes the "Network-Match-Check" when its Network(s) finds a match with a given Inventory Position Location Network(s).
Plugin NameInventory Reference Module
Namespace[[account.id]].globalinventory
The Inventory Reference Module is the foundation for inventory related implementations. It provides reference Workflows for inventory ingestion and processing. Extensible by design, use this Module as a base to build a solution to the needs of your customers.The Inventory Module includes the following areas:
  • Product Catalogue workflow
  • Inventory Catalogue workflow
  • Control Group workflow
  • Virtual Catalogue workflow

UI Description

Forward the event with name {eventName} to the virtual catalogues with refs {virtualCatalogueRefs} if the location's network ref is listed in the virtual catalogue's networkIds.

Accepts

  • INVENTORY_POSITION

Actions

Detailed Technical Description

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 Catalogs specified in the `virtualCatalogueRefs`, including their lists of associated Networks (stored in the `networkIds` field).
  • The Networks lists mentioned (associated with the Location (point 2) and the Virtual Catalogs (point 3)) will be compared. The Rule condition is met when any match case occurs. 
  • Finally, the event `{eventName}` will be sent to all the Virtual Catalogs passed the "Network-Match-Check".
The generated event contains the following event attributes:
ParameterDescriptionNotes
`ref`Inventory Position referenceLegacy attribute
`locationRef`Location referenceTaken from the Inventory Position
`productRef`Product reference Taken from the Inventory Position
`inventoryPositionRef`Inventory Position referenceTaken from
