Vending machine integration supported

You can now integrate Storeroom with a third-party vending machine application to automatically create issues. The integration uses ION API to consume REST Storeroom API service calls. The vending machine application must be able to send JSON files to the web service.

JSON files containing data for one or more issues are sent from the vending machine to the REST service target location, /vendingMachine/file. The data is validated against fields in the Storeroom database. If the data passes validation, the issue is automatically created in Storeroom. If the data does not pass validation, you must manually correct and submit the issue in the Storeroom Import function.

Feature activation

You must set up a backend service account for the vending machine application in ION API and download credentials. You must associate the service account with an Infor Ming.le user that is assigned at least one Storeroom security role other than SM.StoreroomMobile. You must also configure the vending machine application to invoke the web service.
