Enhancements 🔨

GAINS Connect API – Inbound Interfaces

  • Enhanced the task endpoint to support filtering by all possible task statuses. This improvement allows users to more precisely query and manage tasks based on their current status, streamlining operational workflows and reporting.

New Features ✨

Enhancements 🔨

  • Inventory policy webhooks introduced in the prior release were improved to cover additional scenarios (however, nightly processes are not yet covered - expected to be completed in the next release)
  • For both supply and demand transaction endpoints, payloads were adjusted to have more header level data also available at the line level (overrides)
  • Extended data support was added for vendor alternatives
  • We optimized inbound endpoints to allow for more efficient processing of data as it gets loaded in to GAINS
  • In cases where multiple records were posted to the API for ingress and part of the payload was malformed, we were previously accepting and loading partial payloads and ignoring the rest that was malformed. This has been changed now such that the entire payload will be rejected outright if any portion of it was malformed
  • Improved messaging for rejected records when rejections were caused by specific parts of supply transactions missing (for ex. line items)
  • We added support for extended data that was previously not covered - with PO/TO/WO endpoints specifically at the header level
  • PO/TO/WO payloads had some standard attributes added at the line level - including order type, additional quantity and date attributes
  • Inventory policy and service level endpoints now have an attribute AvgLTTotalDemand

Bug Fixes 🐜

  • We have resolved an issue that was sometimes leading to work orders being mis-categorized as purchase orders
  • Cleaned up some naming inconsistencies in inventory policy and service level endpoints
  • Across the API, we had some attributes producing false as a value where the value should have been null. This has been corrected

New Features ✨

Enhancements 🔨

  • Extended data ingress supports attributes being optional (this can be enabled after speaking with your GAINS consultant)
  • Extended data flexibility enhanced to allow for override attributes to be provided at both header and line level
  • The Ping endpoint now contains an additional attribute that shows whether inbound API's are enabled for your environment

  • Resolved a bug that very rarely led to empty webhook payloads
  • Some demand transaction attributes had a prohibitive character limit that has been lifted
