Movilitas.Cloud Support

You can use the Manufacturer V2 API to integrate the shopfloor and the enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems with the Serialized Manufacturing application.

The Manufacturer V2 API uses the Representational State Transfer (REST) standard to interact with other systems.

The Manufacturer V2 API is an extension of the Serialized Manufacturing application of Movilitas.Cloud that enables you to send requests from external systems to the application.

The following figure provides an overview of all the requests that you can send by using the Manufacturer V2 API:

This article describes how to release serials that were previously assigned to a specific product code using the Manufacturer V2 API. The status of the serials will change from Assigned to Available in the Movilitas.Cloud serial number pool.

Note: Releasing serials is applicable only when you are managing serial numbers in Movilitas.Cloud. Movilitas.Cloud supports external serial numbers. If you are using external serial numbers, you cannot release those serial numbers in Movilitas.Cloud.

API Tool to Use

In this document, we provide examples by using the cURL command-line tool. To send the API request, you can find a lot of user-friendly REST API tools on the Internet, for example, Postman.

Before You Begin

1. You must enable the Serialized Manufacturing application.

2. You must create an API key and secret. 

3. You must create a shopfloor channel with the Manufacturer V2 API source. You will need the channel key for your requests.

4. You must configure the Serialized Manufacturing application and the channels required to connect to external systems.

5. You must have the authentication token to send requests over API. Select one of the following ways:

• Apply a dynamic token. Send an authentication request over the Authentication API. For more information about the Authentication API, open the Tenant Dashboard in Movilitas.Cloud, select API keys, and choose Authentication API Documentation. Also, see Authentication Request.
• Apply a static token. Generate a static token for your previously created API key.

For more information, see Configuring the Movilitas.Cloud APIs.
