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 assign serials from the serial pool in Movilitas.Cloud to one or more packaging orders using the Manufacturer V2 API. The order status changes from Open to Pending release.

API Tool to Use

In this document, we provide examples by using the cURL command-line tool. You can use any API tool to perform the API requests, for example, Postman or Katalon Studio. 

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.

Make sure you have enough available (free) serials before sending the Assign Serials to Packaging Orders request. If there are not enough available serials in the pool:

• When using the Serial Number Management (SNM) channel, you can generate serials manually under the Serialized Manufacturing application --> Products --> Products --> Serial management tab.
• When using SAP ATTP or SAP ICH channel, you can request serials manually under the Serialized Manufacturing application --> Products --> Products --> Serial management tab.
• When automatic replenishment is set under the Serialized Manufacturing application --> Products --> Products --> Serial management tab, the application automatically fills the serial number pool in the background and makes the required number of serials available for the packaging order.

Procedure

1. Use PATCH method and the following URL:

https://api.movilitas.cloud/v1/manufacturer/v2/api/packaging_order/assign_serials

2. For the header, define the following:

3. In the body of the request, define the parameters and their values based on the table below.

4. Send the request.

The application assigns serial numbers to the order and moves its status to Pending release. For more information, go to the Serialized Manufacturing application --> Packaging --> Packaging orders tab, select the order, and check the Update packaging order panel --> Packaging order history tab.
