Parcel Replace Order API

This API enables replacing an order registered in DI

Content

Purpose and use of Service

Replace Order API is used to replace details for an existing order. Replacing will create a new order, cancel an old one and applies to all items in that order.

Setup

Make sure you have the following information at hand before proceeding.

 

Example

Description

 

Example

Description

Username (see Authentication section)

wsfoobar

A valid username.

Password (see Authentication section)

a-very-very-long-password

A password matching given username.

  • The user is a web service user

  • The user has access to the web service for editing orders

  • The user has access to the shop registered on the order

Environments / Endpoints

Consider using the TEST-endpoint while developing your system. By doing this you ensure that your test-data will not pollute any potential external systems.

Authentication

This endpoint requires the user to be authenticated. Refer to the documentation here for more information on how to obtain a valid token to use in your request. 

Making a Request

Notes

  • Clients using this API should not fail if new optional fields are added to the API. If a new field is added to the request or response on a later stage, existing clients should handle this in a way such as they just ignore the field.

  • Changes will be updated for all parcels/kolli for the shipment/order specified

  • You may have several patch operations in one request

  • If request contains remove operation it should be the last operation in the request

  • If one of the operations in a request is invalid the whole request will be interrupted

  • It is not possible to undo a replace request, but you can do several replace requests on the same shipment which will cause creating new order every time

Notes

It is neccessary to remove the servicePoint party to if it should be automatically re-assigned. This could be relevant if consignee address has been changed, and servicePoint should be re-evaluated and re-assigned.
