Enhancement to the Putaway Tasks Summary API
This API now supports a status filter. The filter can accept either a single status or one of the following status combinations:
  • NOT_STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, PICKED
  • COMPLETED, CANCELLED
If you do not provide the status filter, the API summarizes data for NOT_STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, and PICKED by default.
To help maintain backward compatibility, the previous behavior remains available for a limited time. In that version, the API summarizes all statuses by default. A notification is provided before this behavior is removed.
For more information, see IBM Sterling Store Inventory Management APIs.
