Salable quantity not being updated when order is created via V1/orders/create API endpoint

Open isinkler opened this issue 1 month ago • 6 comments

Preconditions and environment

Preconditons

Magento version: 2.4.x

Problem

When creating an order via the V1/orders/create API endpoint, the salable quantity of the products are not being updated. Shipping and invoicing does not help either. I know that I can create orders via the guest cart API, but that has some limitations, and I have to use the Admin API for my integration.

Am I missing something or this is an issue and the salable quantity does not update when using the Admin API to create orders?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an order via the API endpoint V1/orders/create
  2. Check the salable quantity of the ordered products
  3. (Optional) Ship and/or invoice the order

Expected result

Salable quantity should update the same way as it does when the order is created via the guest cart API.

Actual result

No error message, but the salable quantity of the products are not being updated. Interesting thing is that the source quantity updates.

Additional information

Hello @engcom-November , thank you for your answer! We have an integrator system which uses the methods described in the documentation you linked as well. But this "guest-cart" way of creating orders comes with certain limitations, for example creating orders with different currencies or unknown products are not allowed. That's why we started using the "Admin API" endpoint : POST /rest/default/V1/orders and PUT /rest/default/V1/orders. Here is an example payload:

   "entity": {
      "base_currency_code": "EUR",

                  },
                  "method": "standard_shipping"
               }
            }
         ]
      ],
      "payment": {
         "method": "standard_payment"
      },
      "status_histories": [
         {
            "comment": "Order processed successfully - Order No: CE-TEST-18727, Product No: 10265",
            "is_customer_notified": 0,
            "is_visible_on_front": 0
         }
      ]
   }
}

In the example payload, we are placing an order for the product test-product-3, but no matter how many times we do it, the salable quantity is never updated:

When placing an order using the guest-cart method, the Salable Quantity is updating correctly.
