Allow to associate files and images via API

[vania.lourenco]

Each product we do is customized, meaning that we need to create it in Fusion Operations prior to producing it. We are leveraging the API for this process, creating the operations and other product attributes. We found however that the API doesn't support images or PDFs, requiring us to go to each product and upload the file. Having this option available would save us a considerable amount of time.

Hello Vania,

This post is really interesting me! I noticed that you mentioned leveraging the API in Fusion Operations to create customized products and their attributes prior to production. Am I reading that right? That sounds really helpful for streamlining the process! Would you mind sharing how you’re setting this up?

Specifically, I’m curious Are you using a script or a specific tool to interact with the API?

If I may ask,

Thank you! 

Jimmy

Hi @jimmya333 

This idea was posted by @vania.lourenco from the Fusion Operations support team to pre-seed the Idea Board as this is feature that some customers have asked us in the past. We do not have any insights on scripts or tools to create products via API. In the meantime, you can know more about our API documentation in this link.

Hi @LegaultfPP99F , thank you for your comment. Could you upvote the idea? The main driver for prioritizing ideas is the number of votes they have.

We create thousands of products via API and print work instructions to go with them.  Loading each instruction would be very time consuming and not worth the time spent.  If we could get the instructions uploaded then we could streamline this process and reduce our printed travelers.

I'm happy to announce that the API support for file management has been made available for Products, Production Orders, Sales Orders and Purchase Orders. The release notes can be seen in this link, and the API documentation has been updated accordingly here.
