Recordable attributes

Recordable attributes can be used to add certain information to line items during the operative process. They are inherited during the creation of entities within the fulfillmenttools platform.

If a line item of a pick job has a recordable attribute, it will be inherited to the following entities (specifically, pack job and, under certain circumstances, handover job line items). Handover job line items can also inherit their recordable attributes from parcel line items.

Recordable attributes can be added at order creation to inherit it to all following line items, or they can be defined on listings for inheritance.

Remember that article attributes are meant to be non-editable after creation; recordable attributes add a value (or even the whole object) to the line item during the corresponding operative process.

Example

To find more information about the attributes in our REST documentation, see, for example, the documentation on the GET endpoint for pack jobs that shows the recordable attribute embedded in the line items.

For example, an entry of the recordableAttribute model looks like the following:

{
  "id": "8a8df5c8-c376-4197-8870-ccc33d22449e",
  "key": "Herkunftsland", // read only
  "keyLocalized": {
    "de_DE": "Herkunftsland",
    "en_US": "Country of Origin"
  },
  "value": "Korea, Republic of",
  "group": "general",
  "recordingRule": "MANDATORY"
}

The value is the value that can be added or changed during the different processes.
