Location API Endpoint - Group Membership
The current API endpoint available to update a location gives you an option to map all groups that belong to the location using the groups external ID’s. If you do not do this the existing mapped groups are removed.
This causes an issue as some IWMS systems do not manage all the types of groups that Condeco can manage for example Delivery Point groups, so these groups will need to be added and maintained directly in Condeco. As such they will have no external ID and would not be part of any presync.
For customers that require regular location updates via an IWMS systems which are integrated to Condeco this is problematic.
It will be good if the location endpoint is updated or another version of the endpoint is created to allow updates to occur without removal of existing mapped groups. For example, I am mapping a new group to the location, I will only send the new group in the request all previous mapped groups including the manually created delivery point group will remain in place.
