Batch - What is it?
A Batch contains a series of records that will have the same operation applied to it. Batches can be used to load certain types of data (such as inventory) into the Fluent Order Management System.
All batches are run asynchronously, and as such, the client will be required to request a status update for entered batches.
Let us begin by looking at how Inventory data can be loaded via Batch.
Loading Inventory-data via Batch
Fluent recommends that inventory be loaded to Fluent OMS using the Batch API.
As a first step in the process, the user must create a Job before creating a Batch.
What you can do with Inventory Batch
With the Inventory Batch, you can:
- Create a Batch: Create a Batch in the Fluent Order Management
