Please find here all of the latest announcements regarding modifications and improvements made to our Inspectorio data integration services. Should you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to [email protected].
Purchase Order Association APIs - Post, Get, Delete purchase order associations
Apr 2nd, 2024
Link parent and child POs to efficiently manage relationships between master and split POs.
As master POs may sometimes be split into smaller POs for distribution to different locations, the Purchase Order Association APIs enable organizations to link the master PO and split POs to leverage the POs’ association in the T&A, as well as manage PO associations by retrieving and deleting PO association data.
For more details, refer to the Purchase Order Association APIs specification.
Purchase Order APIs - “styleName” field is now available
Jan 15th, 2024
Generate POs and retrieve PO data for integration with your internal systems using the new styleName field. Initially, the styleName data point could only be generated through manual input or file import. Inspectorio system now supports this field in the existing Purchase Order API integration to facilitate the display of meaningful names corresponding to style IDs.
For more details, refer to the Purchase Orders APIs specification.
Purchase Order APIs and File Transfer/Import - “eventName” field is now available
Oct 2nd, 2023
To provide additional information about POs, Inspectorio system now supports the eventName attribute on the PO level, which stores the reference data of items included in the PO, such as the year, cycle, department code, and department name. A new column called PO_EventName was also added to our Purchase Order file template as an optional field. It will show as the “Event Name” column on the PO Management page. This new attribute can be leveraged to store other optional information.
For more details, refer to the Purchase Orders APIs specification.
Purchase Orders APIs - “shipmentTerm” field is now available for items
Oct 2nd, 2023

For more details, refer to the Purchase Orders APIs specification.
GET Production Status API – Retrieve the latest production status of the T&A
Jun 15th, 2023
To stay updated on the current production status of your T&As and effectively plan shipment activities, you have the option to obtain the production status of T&As on the item or PO level via API. By retrieving the latest production status via API, you can use the similar JSON structure to continue updating the production status or to sync up with your internal system. This seamless API integration facilitates a comprehensive workflow, minimizing the need for manual tasks and guaranteeing consistent and reliable data.
For more details, refer to the Time and Actions API specification.
Purchase Order APIs & File Transfer/Import - clientCreatedDate field is added now!
Jun 5th, 2023
Though it’s possible to create purchase orders directly from Inspectorio system, most of the cases customers have purchase orders created from their systems then synced to Inspectorio’s. The creation date refers to a date when purchase orders are written at customers’systems; and some customers use that date to calculate actual order lead time for their analysis. For this purpose, we introduced a new field clientCreatedDate in PO APIs as well as added a new column PO_ClientCreatedDate to our Purchase Order file template as an optional field.
For more details about the new field, please refer to the Purchase Order APIs specification.
For more information about the new column, please refer to the Specification in the PDF link.

Apr 10th, 2023
From now on, you can update the production status of multiple milestones via API. Each T&A tracks milestones of two types: process or production. For the latter, it requires you to not only track actual dates but also the production output, either by item level or PO level. Instead of starting the milestone manually and then uploading Excel file to update production status, you are now able to get both tasks done at once via API.
For more details, please refer to the Time and Actions API specification.

New shareToIds field – Inspectorio SIGHT API
August 30, 2019
We have added the optional shareToIds field to the Purchase Order resource of the standard Inspectorio SIGHT API. This includes List Purchase Orders, Create Purchase Order, Get Purchase Order, and Update Purchase Order. By adding one or more Local Organization IDs into this new shareToIds field, you can share your PO directly to these other organizations. The shareToIds field can only be used to share your POs with other associated organizations; you can request to associate to another organization within the Inspectorio SIGHT Platform. The shareToIds field can be blank.
For example, suppose that you want to integrate a PO that has two Vendors. Now, you can add one of the Vendor’s Local Organization ID into the vendorId field and also add the other Vendor’s Local Organization ID into the shareToIds field. Both organizations will be able to see the PO when they log into the Inspectorio SIGHT Platform.

June 20, 2019

File Transfer Validation Logic for Points of Measurement
April 5, 2019
Hi everyone, we are planning to release enhancements to the File Transfer service for Points of Measurement (POM) logic. These will make sure that POM data is structured correctly when using File Transfer integration. These changes have minimal impact on existing logic.
We plan to release these validation enhancements by Monday, April 22, 2019 to give time for any adjustments or clarifications.
This logic refers to the “Multiple Style POM” file format, a sample of which you can find here.
-
Within each Style, each POM Code must still be unique. To further ensure this data consistency, we have added validations to check that within each Style, each POM Code must contain the same Caption, Tolerance, Size, and Unit in every row within which it appears. Please note that if the same POM Code appears in more than one Style, then the POM Code information can be different from Style to Style.
-
We are now supporting many special characters and multiple languages within POM data. However, we will not support
#,?, nor%. -
Missing column headers, as well as blank or invalid fields, will throw errors.
File Transfer Validation Logic for Purchase Orders
March 23, 2019
We are planning to release four enhancements to the File Transfer service Purchase Order validation logic. These enhancements will ensure data quality and integrity across the inspection flow and throughout the entire platform network.

Shipment_Date: This field can be blank, but if it is not blank, then it must follow DateTime format: for example, 2019-06-03T20:15:01Z.Packing_Type: The available options for this field (previously “SOLID” and “ASSORTMENT”) are now case insensitive, so “Solid” and “Assortment” are now acceptable.Packing_Type_ID: This must have the sameOrder_Carton_Quantityvalue for every line in a PO.- For Solid cartons,
Case_PackandOrder_Quantityfields, and for Assortment cartons,Configuration,Order_Carton_Quantityfields: If used, these four fields must be an Integer greater than or equal to 1. For example, “1”, “1.0”, and “2” are ok, but “0”, “1.1” and “-2” are not ok.- Solid
Case_Packmust be Integer >= 1 - Solid
Order_Quantitymust be Integer >= 1 - Assortment
Configurationmust be Integer >= 1 - Assortment
Order_Carton_Quantitymust be Integer >= 1
- Solid

March 21, 2019
