Save Sale Order

/api
Last modified:2025-11-10 15:15:42

Create Sales Order Document#

This API allows external systems, such as e-commerce platforms, to create a sales order document in the 4ws.trade suite. Once an order is placed by a customer, the system forwards the details to 4ws.trade, enabling processing and fulfillment through the Manager application.
Document prices
The external system must ensure that prices in the documents are valued according to the following rules:
priceSale: the product's selling price is a gross VAT amount;
priceInvoice: the product's invoice price (purchase invoice) is a net VAT amount;
pricePurchase: the product's purchase price (typically purchase order) is a net VAT amount.
For more detail about sale order features please refer to E-commerce Order sale Processing and E-commerce Return Order Processing.

Actors#

API Client: The system or user initiating the request.
4ws.trade: The backend system that processes the request.

Preconditions#

The external system must have the necessary permissions and access to the document creation service, please refer to Authentication.
Mandatory fields in documentHeader and documentRows must be included in the payload.
The callback URL must be functional and ready to receive POST requests.
Maximum Number Of Rows
The maximum number of rows for calls is 999, if 1000 or more rows are passed the following error will be returned: Exceeded row limit for document

Payment#

The order can accept a single payment method in the paymentCode field and only accepts payment codes enabled for the Manager application.
To find out the payment methods, check the "Payment Methods" master data in KeepIT, or in the PAYMENT_METHODS_EXPORT export CSV.

Main Success Scenario#

1.
API Client sends a POST request with order details, customer information, and a callback URL.
2.
4ws.trade acknowledges receipt by returning:
success: Confirms the request was received.
id: A unique identifier for tracking the document.
3.
The platform processes the order asynchronously and sends the final details to the callback URL, including:
id: Document identifier.
barcode: Barcode for the document must be unique.
documentNumber: The sales order number must be unique.
documentStatus: Final status of the document
OPEN: the order can be updated or modified with new products, discounts, quantities etc... .
CLOSE: the order is ready for fulfillment and the products, quantities, discounts are final.
SKU Management in Document Handling#
The SKU of a product to be managed in the document can be specified in two different ways:
1.
Using Product Code and Barcode
"itemCode": "010223_PANTA_ROSSO",
"barcode": "2000013787231"
In this case, the suite automatically retrieves the dimensions associated with the product's barcode.
2.
Using Product Code and Dimensions
"itemCode": "010223_PANTA_ROSSO",
"dimension1": "..",
"dimension2": "..",
"dimension3": ".."
In this scenario, the suite retrieves the barcode associated with the specified SKU. If multiple barcodes are linked to the same SKU, one will be selected at random.

ODV (Order Document Open)#
If documentStatus is OPEN API creates only the sales order document in an open state. Goods are neither committed nor issued. Operators must manually close the order from the Order Management functionality in Manager before proceeding with fulfillment.
ODV (Order Document Closed)#
If documentStatus is OPEN API creates the sales order document in a closed state and the commitment document in an open state. Operators must manually close the delivery request from the Order Management functionality in Manager before proceeding with fulfillment.

Sample Callback Response

Alternate Flows#

Invalid Request: Missing required fields or incorrect data will result in an error response.
Callback Failure: If the callback URL is unavailable, the document details can be retrieved manually using the id.
Maximum Number Of Rows: If 1000 or more rows are passed the following error will be returned: Exceeded row limit for document.

Callback Response#

The callback URL receives the processed document details asynchronously. Ensure the callback endpoint is prepared to handle POST requests with the structure described above.
