The status field is also used within ruleset selection during orchestration. For more info, see Orchestration

workflowRef (String!)

workflowVersion (Int!)

The version of the workflow assigned to the entity and used for workflow identification. It comprises a major version and minor version number.

attributes ([Attribute])

A list of attributes associated with this Inventory Position. This can be used to extend the existing data structure with additional data for use in orchestration rules, etc.

productRef (String!)

A reference identifying a Product. The referenced product may or may not exist within one or more Product Catalogues. This is a loosely coupled association, since Product and Inventory are separate domains.

product (Product)

The Product (Standard, Variant or Group) the current inventory position refers to.

  • Only products in the same product catalogue are considered in this association
  • The caller must have permission to access the underlying product - PRODUCT_VIEW for all products, plus STANDARDPRODUCT_VIEW for StandardProduct, VARIANTPRODUCT_VIEW for VariantProduct, GROUPPRODUCT_VIEW for GroupProduct. If any required permission is absent, the result will be empty. E.G if the product ref is for a GroupProduct but GROUPPRODUCT_VIEW is not granted, then no product will be returned
  • If there are several products with the same ref in the corresponding product catalogue, the product returned will be selected by priority: GroupProduct -> VariantProduct -> StandardProduct

onHand (Int)
