titleDoes this filter need to be activated?
  • For items queries : We recommend you to activate it systematically. Some queries called by Onestock interfaces use item filters to boost performance.

  • For stock locations queries : We do not recommend activating it, except if the aggregate is used to target a specific stock location.This generally happens in two types of stock queries:

    • For Click and Collect orchestration - whether in the unified or detailed stock query, one aggregate should use the stock location query stores_cfs_not_sfs to target the specific destination store. The Onestock orchestrator will put the destination store in the “endpoint_filter”, the aggregate must therefore take it into consideration to return only that store and not all the others eligible for Collect From Store. All other aggregates (using stock location queries stores_sfs and warehouses_sfs for example) must not have this parameter activated, as they must return all other eligible stock locations.

    • For the Order In Store catalog - the detailed stock query used for “immediate pickup” immediate pickup should have only one single aggregate to target the store using the catalog. This aggregate must use a stock location query such as stores_ois. To display stock availability, the Store App call the stock_export route given the current store in the “endpoint_filter”. The parameter must therefore be activated in order to return only the stock of the current concerned.

...

  • Types of unavailability: There are different types of unavailability declared in store, depending on the reason given by the vendor. You must indicate the types you wish to deduct from the available stock. We advise you to select the not_in_stock type.

  • Stock locations reservations: You need to Indicate the sales channels on which store reservations are to be taken into account.

  • Global buffers: You need to indicate the global buffers to be deducted. If several buffers are selected, the one with the highest value will be applied. The value to be input is the buffer group.

  • Stock locations buffers: You need to indicate the stock locations buffers to be deducted. If several buffers are selected, the one with the highest value will be applied. The value to be input is the buffer group.

...

Settings

Once the sum of the stock aggregates has been achieved, we can adjust 4 different parameters to obtain an appropriate stock response.

...

In particular cases, you can choose to take into account global reservations only on a list of sales channels, but in general you should leave the "All sales channels" parameter checked.

...

...

Info

Note : if this parameter is activated, all children will inherit it and it will be impossible to delete it.

In general, this parameter should be enabled on unified queries but not on detailed queries. Inheritance must therefore always be in the sense of detailed > unified

Unification

The unification adds up all stock lines and returns a single global value. This setting is very important as it will completely change the format of the stock response.

...

Info

Example : StoreA, StoreB and StoreC each have 5 quantities of stock for a given item. The detailed query will return 3 results, each with 5 available quantities. Whereas the unified query will return a single result of 15 available quantities.

...

Inheritance must always be in the sense of detailed > unified

If the query is unified by stock locations, then the "unified" badge will be visible in the main page tree. Otherwise, the badge will be "detailed".

...

  • Diff/Full: If the "Full" parameter is checked, all stocks returned by the query will be sent. If "Diff" is checked, exported stocks are those that have changed since the last export on the same scope. As the full export is very large, it is usually set to be sent once in the morning. Then, several diff exports are sent at regular intervals during the day.

  • Scope key: This key, mandatory to perform diff exports, is a freely definable id which identifies a stock perimeter on which the export will be done. This can be a sales channel, a country, etc... When a diff stock is exported, only movements that have taken place since the last export on the same key are counted. Once exported, the counters are reset to 0 for this key, but not for the others.

Note

To configure a scope key in a diff query, you first need to create it in the full one.

Info

Example : The stock of my item changes at 10:05 am on a warehouse that can deliver from both UK and FR sales channels. A diff export to the UK website is carried out at 10:15, and another to the FR website at 10:30. If both exports have the same key, only the 10:15 export will return the movement, as the 10:30 export will not detect any movement since 10:15. On the other hand, if the two exports have a different key, they will both return the movement.

...

  • detailed - this basic query is supposed to return all available stocks from all stock locations on all items. A single aggregate all can be created, which can refer to endpoints and items queries, and with all deductions set. Only the setting of global reservations can be added.

    • unified - the query inherits from detailed. Only the setting of unification (by stock type and by stock location) has to be enabled.

Info

Note : inheritance must always be in the sense of detailed > unified

Note

The in_stock query created during config initialization is a basic query used by Onestock and should not be deleted

...

We recommend that you separate orchestration requests according to delivery type. In our example, we have 3 types of delivery: Ship From Store

...

, Click & Collect standard and Click and Collect express.

For better consistency, we recommend you adopt the following naming convention : orchestration_{detailed/unified}_{delivery type}_{country/sales channel)

  • Ship From Store:

    • orchestration_detailed_sfs - This query can be created at the root to target the stocks available for SFS orchestration. It can be used in rulesets that do not make differences between countries or sales channels. It should contain two aggregates "stores" and "warehouses" which are the two order fulfillment paths.
      - The “stores” aggregate should contains contain the items_sfs item items query, which lists items eligible for order-taking, and the stores_sfs stock locations query, which lists stores with the Ship From Store module enabled.
      - The “warehouses” aggregate should also The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” must be disabled for the stock locations query.
      - The “warehouses” aggregate should also use the items_sfs item items query, and the warehouses_sfs stock locations query, which lists warehouses with the Ship From Store module enabled.
      All aggregate deductions can be activated (buffers, reservations and unavailabilities) as well as the global reservations parameter.
      Finally, the unified query The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” must be disabled for the stock locations query.

      • Aggregates deductions: stock locations reservations and unavailability should be enabled, buffers should be disabled.

    • orchestration_unified_sfs - The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one. Only the “Unification”

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled, and the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

    • orchestration_detailed_sfs_{country} - This query can be created by inheriting from the detailed previous one to target a particular country or sales channel. The same two aggregate identifiers, "stores" and "warehouse", can be kept.
      If we consider that the warehouse can deliver to any country, then the "warehousewarehouses" aggregate can remain unchanged. However, we need to modify the "stores" aggregate so that it uses the stores_sfs_{country} stock locations query to target only stores in the chosen country.

    • orchestration_unified_sfs_{country} - The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one.

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled, and the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

➡️ Here's what the Ship From Store orchestration queries might look like, differentiating between the two countries "FR" and "UK".

...

  • Click and Collect express:

    • orchestration_detailed_ckc_exp - This query can be created at the root to target only the pick-up store. As there will be no shipping, it should contain only one aggregate “destination_store” regardless of the country or the sales channel.
      - The “destination_store” aggregate should use the items_ckc items query, and the stores_cfs stock locations query which lists stores enabled in Collect From Store (in-store pick-up). Since we want to target ONLY the destination store, we'll need to enable the parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” for the stock locations query.

      • Aggregates deductions: stock locations reservations and unavailability should be enabled, buffers should be disabled.

    • orchestration_unified_ckc_exp - The unified can be created by inheriting from the detailed one.

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled, and the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

➡️ The result is a single pair of stock queries for Click & Collect express, regardless of country or sales channel.

...

  • Click and Collect standard:

    • orchestration_detailed_ckc_std - This query can be created at the root to target the stocks available for standard Click & Collect orders, whether the stock is directly available in the pick up store or sent from another stock location. It can be used in rulesets that do not make differences between countries or sales channels. It should contain 3 aggregates "stores", "warehouses" and “destination_store” which are the three order fulfillment paths.
      - The “stores” aggregate should contain the items_ckc items query, which lists items eligible for Click & Collect, and the stores_sfs stock locations query, which lists stores with the Ship From Store module enabled who will be able to ship the order to the pick-up store. The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” must be disabled for the stock locations query.
      - The “warehouses” aggregate should also use the items_ckc items query, and the warehouses_sfs stock locations query, which lists warehouses with the Ship From Store module enabled who will be able to ship the order to the pick-up store. The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” must be disabled for the stock locations query.
      - The “destination_store” aggregate should also use the items_ckc items query, and the stores_cfs_not_sfs stock locations query which lists stores enabled in Collect From Store (in-store pick-up) but not enabled in Ship From Store otherwise they will be double-counted with the "stores" aggregate. Since we want to target ONLY the destination store, we'll need to enable the parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” for the stock locations query.

      • Aggregates deductions: stock locations reservations and unavailability should be enabled, buffers should be disabled.

    • orchestration_unified_ckc_std - The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one.

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled, and the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

    • orchestration_detailed_ckc_std_{country} - This query can be created by inheriting from the detailed previous one to target a particular country or sales channel. If we consider that the warehouse can deliver to any country, then the "warehouses" and “destination_store” aggregates can remain unchanged. However, we need to modify the "stores" aggregate so that it uses the stores_sfs_{country} stock locations query to target only stores in the chosen country.

    • orchestration_unified_ckc_std_{country} - The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one.

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled, and the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

➡️ Here's what the standard Click & Collect queries might look like, differentiating between the two countries "FR" and "UK".

For stock export

Stock exports requested from Onestock by websites allow product availability to be updated.

In general, stock exports are separated by sales channels and/or different websites. For example, if both UK and FR websites exist in your project, you will need to configure independent stock export flows between UK and FR.

For each sales channel, you will need to set up unified/detailed and full/diff queries. In general, the “full unified” query is called once a day in the morning to initialize product availability on the website. Then, the “diff unified” are called up regularly throughout the day to adjust stock levels according to sales. Full and diff detailed queries should generally not be called up without using a filter, as the data is too voluminous.

  • export_detailed_{saleschannel}_full - This query can be created at the root to target the details of all stocks available for delivery. As the Ship From Store orchestration query, it should contain two aggregates "stores" and "warehouses" which are the two scopes of stock availability.
    - The “stores” aggregate should contain the items_sfs items query, which lists items eligible for order-taking, and the stores_sfs_{saleschannel}_export stock locations query, which lists stores eligible for export with the Ship From Store module enabled. The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” can be enabled for the stock locations query, this will allow you to filter on specific stock locations if necessary.
    - The “warehouses” aggregate should also use the items_sfs items query, and the warehouses_sfs_{saleschannel}_export stock locations query, which lists warehouses eligible for export with the Ship From Store module enabled. The parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” can be enabled for the stock locations query, this will allow you to filter on specific stock locations if necessary.

    • Aggregates deductions: all deductions should be enabled (stock locations reservations, unavailability, and global and stock locations buffers).

    • Settings: global reservations should be enabled. Then, the export parameter should be enabled with the “Full” option. A scope key must be specified to identify the perimeter of the export and must be identical to the diff export. It could be, for example “detailed_fr”.

  • export_unified_{saleschannel}_full The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one. Aggregates must remain unchanged.

    • Settings: the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled), and also the scope key of the export parameter. It could be, for example “unified_fr”.

  • export_detailed_{saleschannel}_diff - The Diff query can be created by inheriting from the detailed full one. Aggregates must remain unchanged.

    • Settings: the export parameter must be changed to "Diff". Make sure the scope key remains the same as the full query, in my example “detailed_fr”. Then, the "Export stock difference instead of raw value" parameter can be activated or deactivated as needed for your project.

  • export_unified_{saleschannel}_diff The unified Diff query can be created by inheriting from the Diff detailed one.

    • Settings: the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled), and also the scope key of the export parameter. It could be, for example “unified_fr”.

➡️ Here's what the export queries might look like, differentiating between the two sales channels/websites "FR" and "UK".

...

For add-on modules

Stocks queries are also used on add-on modules such as the OIS catalog, the e-reservation funnel or the delivery promise and so need to be set up.

  • Order in Store catalog: These queries provide the availability of products in the Store App catalog. The “immediate pickup” availability is based on the detailed query, and the “ordering” availability is based on the unified query

    • ois_detailed - This query is only used to provide the immediate pickup availability, and so can be created at the root to target the current OIS store. It should only contain one aggregate "pickup_store"
      - The “pickup_store” aggregate should use the items_ois items query, and the stores_ois stock locations query which lists stores having ois module enabled. Since we want to target ONLY the current store, we'll need to enable the parameter “Force usage of stock location filter requested” for the stock locations query because the store app will add the filter to the query.

      • Aggregates deductions: all deductions should be enabled (stock locations reservations, unavailability, global and stock locations buffers).

    • ois_unified_{saleschannel} - Then, the unified query is used to provide the “ordering” availability on a given sales channel. This query should looks like the export_unified_{saleschannel}_full one, because we will set up the same aggregates (“stores” and “warehouses” enabled for export). The parameter “Force usage of items filter requested” must be enabled for both aggregates.

      • Aggregates deductions: all deductions should be enabled (stock locations reservations, unavailability, global and stock locations buffers).

      • Settings : global reservations should be enabled. The export parameter must not be enabled (if a scope key is set, this may affect diff exports). The unification parameter must be enabled (unification by stock types and stock locations).

➡️ Here's what the OIS queries might look like, with a single detailed query at the root, and two unified queries for the two sales channels/websites FR and UK. The UK inherits from the FR, and only the “stores” aggregate is changed.

...

Note

Once the stock requests have been created, they need to be set up in the Store App configuration in “order_in_store_options”. Please get in touch with your Onestock contact.

  • E-reservation: These queries provide the availability of products in the Onestock’s e-reservation funnel in the website. The unified query is used to display or not the product as available for e-reservation, and the detailed one displays the list of available stores.

    • eresa_detailed_{saleschannel} - This query is used to target all available stores, so it should only contain one aggregate "stores".
      - The “stores” aggregate should contain the items_eresa items query, which lists items eligible for Reserve & Collect, and the stores_eresa stock locations query, which lists stores with the e-reservation module enabled.

      • Aggregates deductions: all deductions should be enabled (stock locations reservations, unavailability, global and stock locations buffers).

    • eresa_unified_{saleschannel} - The unified query can be created by inheriting from the detailed one.

      • Settings : only the unification parameter should be changed (unification by sock locations and stock types enabled).

➡️ Here's what the e-reservation queries might look like, with two sales channels/websites FR and UK.

...

Note

Once the stock requests have been created, they need to be set up in the e-reservation funnel configuration. Please get in touch with your Onestock contact.

  • Delivery promise: These queries provide stock availability for different delivery methods.
