How To Switch To API?

In release 2.6.0, we introduced a new communication method between the data requesting and data sharing companies, based on API calls. Compared to the outdated OData (Legacy) method, the new communication method is more efficient and stable, allowing for smoother data updates.

Switch to API in the Data Sharing Company

To switch to API in the data sharing company, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that locations have the Include in ICI Availability field enabled.
  2. Enable the Include Empty Location Code field in the ICI Setup if ICI stockkeeping units should be created for an empty location code.
  3. Use the Create ICI Stockkeeping Units action from the ICI Stockkeeping Units list page.
Note

ICI stockkeeping units for new inventory items and item variants will be created automatically. For more information, see ICI Stockkeeping Units.

Switch to API in the Data Requesting Company

To switch to API in the data requesting company, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the intercompany partner uses application version 2.6.0 or higher and has switched to API.
  2. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter ICI Endpoints, and then select a related link.
  3. Open the ICI Endpoint Card page.
  4. Change the Connection field to Web Service.
  5. Update the Web Service Address field with the address copied from the Current Company API Endpoint field on the ICI Setup page in the data sharing company.
Note

For On-premises environments the web service address will require adjustments. For more information, see ICI Endpoint.

Important

All users must be assigned the ICI User permission set. Otherwise, the insertion or deletion of items or item variants will cause an error due to the lack of permissions for ICI stockkeeping units.
