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 disaggregate child trade items (packs) from a parent container (SSCC) using the Manufacturer V2 API.
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.

Error Types and Resolution
This section lists some of the most general error types when sending the request.
Error Type | Description |
---|---|
ProductError | The product does not exist. Register the product in the Serialized Manufacturing application --> Products tab in the Admin UI. |
NoTokenError | No authentication token is provided. Ensure that you add the authentication token to the header of the request. |
InvalidTokenError | Failed to authenticate the provided token. Double-check if your token has expired or has been revoked. Obtain a valid token by generating a static one or by getting a dynamic one through Authentication API. |
