About the Order Inventories Object

The task_inventories object provides detailed information about inventory items associated with an order, including unique inventory IDs, item quantities, dimensions, and attributes, allowing for flexible management and updates through Bringg's API and webhooks. This object can be sent to Bringg as part of the Create Order (Task) endpoint and can be included in any flexible webhook, enabling you to stay updated on the inventory associated with your orders.

Best Practices

Before sending inventory details to Bringg, ensure that each inventory item has a unique ID to allow for precise tracking and handling. This lets Bringg know that you are referring to a specific instance of an item when sending updates. To set up a unique inventory ID in Bringg:
1. In Bringg, go to Settings > Merchant Configuration.
2. Select a parameter from the drop-down field next to Unique Inventory ID.
3. Select Update to save your changes.
Send distinct products with quantities to indicate multiple items, rather than including multiple line items with the same ID.
Determine which level of your inventory hierarchy the driver needs to be able to scan and act on. You can add multiple levels of inventory (we recommend up to three) by embedding another inventory object within the first, including the scan_string at the top level. For example, you can include a top-level item such as a crate with a barcode for the driver to scan. Then, if an issue arises with an item within the crate, such as a missing bag of chips, the driver can interact on that inventory level to reject the specific item.
