Orders
Orders API Overview
A purchase order (PO) is a formal document that a buyer issues to a seller, indicating the types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. In the Locate2U system, orders facilitate the management of logistics and inventory, ensuring a streamlined process from item request to delivery.
The Orders API provides a set of endpoints designed to handle the entire lifecycle of purchase orders within the Locate2U platform. With this API, users can efficiently create orders, manage items, establish delivery stops, and generate shipments.
Available Actions
The following actions can be performed through the API endpoints related to orders:
Create an Order: Initiate a purchase order by specifying essential details such as pick-up and drop-off locations and the requested items.
Create Items: Once an order is established, register the items in the inventory to ensure they are available for fulfillment.
Create Delivery Stops: With the items ready, define delivery stops for the order to outline where and when the items should be delivered.
Create Shipments: Finally, manage the physical transfer of items by creating shipments based on the established orders and delivery stops.
Workflow Overview
By following these steps, users can seamlessly navigate through the order management process:
Step 1: Create a Purchase Order using the appropriate endpoint.
Step 2: Generate Items to fulfill the order by adding them to the inventory.
Step 3: Use the Items to create either delivery stops or shipments, completing the delivery lifecycle.
