Inventory Module 1.4.0 Release: Enhanced Catalog Support and Attribute Flexibility

This release enhances our Inventory Module rules, increasing their flexibility and usability across different inventory catalog types. The updates remove the hard-coded dependency on the inventory catalogue type

`DEFAULT`

We’ve also introduced support for a new

`inventoryQuantity`

`InventoryChanged`

Enhanced Rules: The following inventory rules have been updated to support flexible inventory catalog types, eliminate dependency on the

`DEFAULT`

• SplitInventoryUpdates
• LoadInventoryPosition
• ForwardIfInventoryQuantityOfTypeExists
• ForwardIfInventoryQuantityOfTypeNotExists
• CreateInventoryQuantity
• UpdateInventoryQuantity
• CreateBaseVirtualPosition
• UpdateBaseVirtualPosition
• LoadVirtualPositionAndVirtualCatalogueDetails
• NotifyVirtualCatalogueOnNetworkMatch
• DownToInventoryPositionIfExists
• SplitDeltasAndDownToInventoryPosition
• ForwardIfInventoryPositionStatusEquals

Key Changes:

• Inventory position types now inherit their type from the inventory catalog, enabling workflows and plugins to function across different catalog types without rule modifications.
• The subtype in the inventory catalog workflow must be correctly set to leverage this flexibility, ensuring rules are no longer limited to the

  `DEFAULT`

  catalog type.
• Rule updates have removed the hard-coded inventory catalogue type (

  `DEFAULT`

  ), increasing the usability of these rules with other catalog types.
• A new field,

  `inventoryQuantity`

  , has been introduced for the

  `InventoryChanged`

  event, which is produced for each record within an inventory batch. The field aggregates all attributes which now can be passed by inventory batches under the

  `attributes`

  field and the information can be accessed by the corresponding rules in the workflows. 
• The CreateInventoryQuantity and UpdateInventoryQuantity now update fields like

  `condition`

  ,  

  `expectedOn`

  , and

  `storageAreaRef`

  if the information is passed in a inventory batch record. All other inventory batch record attributes will be available in workflows for further actions.
