Detailed Technical Description

Based on the

`operation`

parameter of this rule, this rule will send a cross-workflow event with the configured

`eventName`

to the inventory catalogue defined by

`inventoryCatalogueRef`

parameter. When the inventory catalogue belongs to a different retailer, the

`retailerId`

parameter can be used to defined the corresponding id.

The

`operation`

parameter drives the logic what quantities will be sent in the event attributes for each item in the fulfilment. The general event payload structure is as follows:

1{
2  "retailerId": "{{retailerId}}",
3  "accountId": "{{accountId}}}}",
4  "name": "{{eventName}}",
5  "entityRef": "{{inventoryCataloguRef}}",
6  "entityType": "INVENTORY_CATALOGUE",
7  "rootEntityType": "INVENTORY_CATALOGUE",
8  "rootEntityRef": "{{inventoryCataloguRef}}",
9  "attributes": {
10    "items": [
11      {
12        "skuRef": "{{variantProductRef}}",
13        "reserveQty": 0, //quantity which will be reserved
14        "cancelQty": 0, //quantity which will be cancelled/rejected
15        "saleQty": 0, //quantity which will was sold/picked
16        "correctionQty": //quantity which will was not sold/miss-picked
17        "locationRef": "{{locationRef}}",
18        "fulfilmentId": "{{fulfilmentId}}"
19        "quantity": //legacy,
