Inventory Contexts

Query Overview

Inventory Context is a term used to describe hotel codes used in Inventory. This should not be confused with the standard concept Context; as this Inventory Context is exclusively related to the Inventory scope.

Some Channel Managers need to work with their native hotel codes instead of mapping the Inventory hotel IDs that we autogenerate. Therefore, these Channels will require a special Inventory Context for Set Up and Product Load operations.

To retrieve the Inventory Context values, you can use the inventoryContexts query that returns a list of all the existing Inventory Contexts created. The returned fields include:

• contextId
• contextCode
• supplierCodes

1. Criteria

When building your query, you can provide the following input field:

Optional Input

• supplierCodes - A list of supplier codes to retrieve their Inventory Context.

2. Settings

This query allows retrieving all Inventory Contexts or filtering specific ones by providing supplier codes.

note

The supplierCodes field can be used to filter contexts based on specific suppliers.

{
  "input": {
    "supplierCodes": ["SUP001", "SUP002"]
  }
}

The query returns a collection of Inventory Contexts along with success status and possible advise messages.
