Upcoming WMS Acquisitions API Changes
OCLC will be installing changes to the WMS Acquisitions API which affect Invoice items and Ship-to/Bill-to addresses. This change will affect the Purchase Order, Invoice and Invoice Item resources within the Acquisitions API. The date for these changes is yet to be determined.
Invoice Items:
OCLC is adding the ability to add/update/delete local resource invoice items to an invoice. These can be credit, refund, or debit items. A local resource ID that is retrieved from the URL in the UI must be supplied, since there is not a local resource endpoint.
Ship-to and Bill-to Addresses:
OCLC is including additional Ship-to and Bill-to address fields in the order endpoint, allowing libraries to specify both the ship-to and bill-to address.
Ship-to and bill-to addresses are based on addresses within the Institution Registry. Each address has a unique identifier which need to be included in requests to create new invoices and update addresses in existing invoices.
In addition, OCLC will be deprecating the existing shippingAddressId field in a subsequent release.
Questions?
Please contact OCLC Customer Support with questions about these changes. Libraries can also refer to our OCLC API documentation for more details.
