Platform Enhancements & ServicePoint Bug Fix

Platform Enhancements

REST-based Inventory Search Optimization

• The REST-based Inventory Search request for non-GI implementations has been optimized to make it more efficient when searching items across the network.
• This is used for inventory lookup when creating fulfilments across the network. This optimization will provide a faster response time, especially in an extensive network scenario.

New card-type support was added for Financial transactions

• Financial transactions have been extended to support card types

  `DISCOVER`

  and

  `UNIONPAY`

  .
• Both the GraphQL API and the REST API will now accept

  `DISCOVER`

  and

  `UNIONPAY`

  as a valid card types.
• For more information, see the GraphQL Overview and the Transaction API.

Duplicate Fulfilment handling

Prior to this release, the platform allowed duplicate fulfilments to be created. This is typically not an intended behaviour, and was the result of multiple sources posting events simultaneously. A new unique constraint has been added to prevent the creation of duplicate fulfilments on the following combination fields:

• Order ID
• From Location ID
• To Location Address fields
  • Street
  • City
  • Post Code
• Shipment Type (which is the Fulfilment Type - e.g: CC_PFS, CC_PFDC, etc.)
• Delivery Type
• Fulfilment Item fields (sorted by Order Item ID ascending):
  • Order Items ID
  • Requested Quantity

The GraphQL and REST API will return an error in the case that a duplicate fulfilment is trying to be created. 

For more information, see the GraphQL Overview or Fulfilment REST API docs.

• Additionally, there are times when a duplicate fulfilment is intentional, such as after a fulfilment has been expired or rejected from a location, but the intent is still to fulfil from that location. For these scenarios, a new special attribute has been added to allow a duplicate fulfilment to be created. Simply include the following attribute on the new Fulfilment attributes array in either the GraphQL or REST APIs.
  • Attribute Details: Name:

    `ENABLE_DUPLICATE_ENTITY`

    Type:

    `BOOLEAN`

    Value:

    `true`
