Custom attributes

You can add a customAttributes field to some of our fulfillmenttools entities. Custom attributes can contain information that might interest connectors or services outside of the fulfillmenttools platform.

An example of customAttributes could be a consumer rating originating from a shop or some foreign key relation to the corresponding data in a connected system. The customAttributes are stored and can be retrieved via the different APIs.

Do not confuse customAttributes with attributes mentioned in Customization via article attributes.

Custom attribute inheritance

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

Limitation

Each customAttributes object has a limit of 15360 chars (the whole object is serialized as a string). This approximately corresponds to 15 objects with around 1024 chars. The API responds with an HTTP error code 400 if you try to create or update an entity that exceeds this limit.
