Recordable attributes

Recordable attributes enable the addition of specific information to line items during operational processes. They are inherited when creating subsequent entities within fulfillmenttools.

If a line item of a pick job has a recordable attribute, it's inherited by the corresponding pack job and, under certain circumstances, handover job line items. Handover job line items can also inherit recordable attributes from parcel line items.

Recordable attributes can be added when an order is created for inheritance by all subsequent line items, or they can be defined on listings for inheritance.

While article attributes are non-editable after creation, recordable attributes add a value or an entire object to the line item during the corresponding operative process. For more information, see article attributes.

Recordable attribute example

In the example below, we'll add a recordable attribute to a pick job.

We need to use the create pick job endpoint:

POST https://ocff-{PROJECT_ID}.fulfillmenttools.com/api/pickjobs

Then, within the pickLineItems array, we can add the recordableAttributes object.

...
{
    "pickLineItems": {
        "recordableAttributes": {
            "keyLocalized": {
                "de_DE": "Herkunftsland",
                "en_US": "Country of Origin"
            },    
            "value": "Korea, Republic of",
            "group": "general",
            "recordingRule": "MANDATORY"           
        }
    }
...
}

The value field contains the data that can be added or modified during different operative processes.
