Quickstart Guide

1. Setup your company’s Stateset One instance by signing up at stateset.io/signup

2. Create a new API Key in the Stateset Cloud Console cloud.stateset.com/api-keys

3. Install the stateset-node SDK in your project:

npm install stateset-node

4. Create a new Inventory Item

import { stateset } from 'stateset-node'('API_KEY');

const created = await stateset.inventoryitem.create(
  'ii_ODkRWQtx9NVsRX'
);

5. Create a Packing List and Packing List Item

import { stateset } from 'stateset-node'('API_KEY');

const created = await stateset.packinglists.create(
  'pl_ODkRWQtx9NVsRX'
);

const created = await stateset.packinglistitems.create(
  'pl_ODkRWQtx9NVsRX',
  'item_ODkRWQtx9NVsRX'
);

There are three inventory counts by UPC or SKU:

• Incoming - Packing List Item Quantity by UPC / SKU
• Available - Available Inventory Quantity by UPC / SKU
• Warehouse Counts - Warehouse Inventory Quantity by UPC / SKU

6. Update Inventory Counts when Incoming Shipment Arrives at Warehouse

const dataGetInventoryCount = await stateset.packinglistitems.get({
  packing_list_item_id
});

const item = dataGetInventoryCount.packing_list_item_by_pk.item;

const { incoming, available, warehouse } = item;

const new_incoming_quantity = incoming - packing_list_item_quantity;
const new_available_quantity = available + packing_list_item_quantity;
const new_warehouse_quantity = warehouse + packing_list_item_quantity;

const inventory_item_data = {
  incoming: new_incoming_quantity,
  available: new_available_quantity,
  warehouse: new_warehouse_quantity
};

const updatedInventory = await stateset.inventoryitems.update({
  upc,
  inventory_item: inventory_item_data
});

const packing_list_item_data = {
  arrived: true
};

const updatedPackingListItem = await stateset.packinglistitems.update({
  packing_list_item_id,
  packing_list_item: packing_list_item_data
});
