Read 10
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Run a SQL query
Runs a read-only SELECT against the Fishbowl database, the way the Data module's queries do, like SELECT id, num, statusId, customerId, dateIssued FROM so WHERE statusId = 20 (open sales orders).
Find parts
Finds parts by number, description, UPC, type (Inventory, Service, Labor, Overhead, Non-Inventory, Internal Use, Capital Equipment, Shipping), ABC code, vendor, or product number.
Check inventory
Reads on-hand inventory per part, by part number or description, a location or location group, or ABC code; parts with nothing on hand are left out unless asked.
Get a product's best price
Works out a product's best unit price for a customer, quantity and date under the pricing rules, optionally listing the rules that applied.
Find purchase orders
Finds purchase orders by number, status (All, All Open, Bid Request, Pending Approval, Issued, Picking, Partial, Picked, Shipped, Fulfilled, Closed Short, Void, Historical), vendor, part.
Read a purchase order
Reads one purchase order by its ID.
Find manufacture orders
Finds manufacture orders by number, status (All, All Open, Entered, Issued, Partial, Fulfilled, Closed Short, Void), BOM number, linked sales order number, location group or a scheduled-date range.
Read a manufacture order
Reads one manufacture order by its ID.
Find vendors
Finds vendors by name, account number, city, state or country, active only by default.
List location groups
Lists location groups (sites or warehouses), by name, active only by default.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Add a memo
Adds a memo (a dated note signed by the API user) to a purchase order or a manufacture order by its ID, like "Vendor confirmed ship date Nov 3".
Import records
Runs one of Fishbowl's CSV imports with the rows as JSON.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
