UpdateWOHeader

Changes some header fields of one open work order: what Edit work order does in TrakIT, for the fields listed below. Use it when your system learns a detail after the job was created with CreateJob, for example the container number of a booking or the transporter that will collect it. To record events and data fields, use SaveSeqData instead.

{
"WOID": 48211,
"Fields": [
{ "ContNum": "ABCU1234560" },

{ "TransID": 2210 },
{ "Weight": 21450.5 }
]
}
Field Required Meaning
WOID Yes The work order’s ID, a whole number.
Fields Yes The header fields to change: a list of objects, each with one field from the table below and its new value. Put one field in each object: TrakIT reads only the first.

TrakIT reads WOID and Fields by name, and these two names are case-sensitive. The field names in Fields are not: ContNum and contnum are the same.

Name each field as below. Fields you leave out keep their values.

Field Meaning
ContNum Container No., at most 20 characters. TrakIT stores it as you send it: send it in capitals, without spaces. An empty string clears it. It is not changed while the work order has a Yard Position.
SealNum Seal Number, at most 100 characters: letters A to Z, digits, spaces and # $ % + , - . / @ _.
Commodity Commodity, at most 500 characters.
LoadType Load Type: the code or alternate code of an active load type, for example 22G1. TrakIT stores the load type’s own code.
OpID Carrier: an entity ID, or 0 to remove the carrier.
TransID Transporter: an entity ID, or 0 to remove it.
RetTransID Return Transporter: an entity ID, or 0 to remove it.
OwnCont Shipper Container: true when the shipper owns the container, otherwise false.
Resp Responsible Person: a user ID, for example JSMITH.
Weight Weight, in kilograms, from 0 to 50,000,000.
Priority The work order’s priority, a whole number: 1 Critical, 2 High, 3 Normal, 4 Low or 5 Very Low. 0 sets 3.

Send numbers as JSON numbers and OwnCont as true or false. A null is refused for them: to remove an entity, send 0.

Other header fields, such as the customer, the agents, the volume or the job type, cannot be changed here. A change applies to this work order only, not to the other work orders of its job.

TrakIT reads the fields in the order you send them and stops at the first one it refuses. It then checks the work order’s header as it would be after the change: the checks on the responsible person, weight, load type, commodity, seal number and priority also apply to the values you do not send. Nothing is saved unless every check passes.

  • The change is recorded in the work order’s audit log under the API user’s name, when a value has changed.
  • The data fields of the work order’s carrier, transporters and agents are copied to its events and data where your company has set that up: see Copy values to work orders.
  • TrakIT then runs your company’s actions for Save WO Header, and tells the users who subscribed to Update WO Header notifications.
  • Send the values your workflow requires: a header field that it makes Mandatory on its Header Fields tab should not be cleared, a commodity should come from the workflow’s list if it has one, and a container number should be valid for the workflow.
