Custom Attributes

This page is outdated. Please go to our new documentation under https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation.

You can add customAttributes to some of our entities on root level. Custom Attributes can be used to carry information that might be in interest to connectors or services outside of fulfillmenttools, e.g. a consumer rating originating from a shop or some foreign key relation to the corresponding data in a connected system. The information of customAttributes are stored and can be retrieved via the API. However, they do not have any influence on the behavior of the fulfillmenttools platform.

Furthermore, some entities support also customAttributes on child objects e.g. on line item level. We don't restrict the structure of customAttributes so you can add arbitrary objects.

Consult the API reference to find a complete list of supported entities.

Custom Attribute Inheritance

Custom Attributes are inherited during creation of entities within the fulfillmenttools platform. If you supply custom attributes to order line items the pickjobs are also going to have these custom attributes. In general, all subsequent entities are going to inherit these attributes.

Limitations

Custom attributes on order line level

Fulfillmenttools also offers custom attributes on order line level. With this concept we generate the possibility to add further information to a dedicated order line which might become important in a following fulfillment process. Those additional (meta) information are often consumer - specific.

There might be customer service cases where there is need for you to change those information. This can be done via API with a specific update action which can be found here.
