REST APIs (Outbound)

Use the REST APIs outbound integration option to export outbound advanced shipment notices (ASNs), expected receipts, outbound shipments, and manufacturing pick requests work orders from Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management.

Key Features

• Exports data in real time.
• Used with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) to perform near real-time operations in Oracle Inventory Management.

Best Practices

• Build a fault-tolerant integration. For example, one that would let customers perform multiple retries from Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) custom integration layers to resend the request.
• Use pagination according to REST API performance.
• In previously built integrations, the default pagination size is 299. We recommend using the same size. If you wish to change it, review REST API performance with that pagination size before changing it.

Constraints

• This option isn't suitable for exporting large volumes of inventory data.
• In case of persistent failures, customers might need to correct the data set and resend or contact Oracle Support.
• A REST API can experience a 504 Gateway timeout if a request runs for more than 5 minutes. The OIC timeout is also 5 minutes.
