Capabilities

Tools 13

finale_create_draft_purchase_order

WRITE. Creates a purchase order for a supplier in status ORDER_CREATED, i.e. an editable draft. It is NOT locked (committed), received, completed or emailed, no stock changes and no money moves: review and commit it in Finale. Products are looked up first (one single read each; products whose resource URL differs from the SKU cost collection reads, bounded to 3 or one full product-list read), then ONE POST creates the order; the call is never retried, so check finale_list_orders before repeating it after an error. POST /{account}/api/order/.

Discovered
finale_get_order

One order in full: header, line items (productUrl, quantity, unitPrice), roles (customer or supplier), adjustments, shipment and invoice URLs, notes. GET /{account}/api/order/{orderId}.

Discovered
finale_get_product

One product in full: ids, description, UPC/ASIN, dimensions and weight, cost, supplier list, reorder guidelines, price list, custom fields. GET /{account}/api/product/{id} (falls back to a productId filter when the resource URL differs).

Discovered
finale_get_product_stock

Stock of one product summed over Finale's stock entries: totals for quantityOnHand, quantityOnOrder and quantityReserved, and the same per location/sublocation. Downloads the WHOLE inventoryitem collection (Finale offers no filter; large on big accounts), so it counts as one collection read of the 300 per hour: avoid calling it in a loop. GET /{account}/api/inventoryitem/.

Discovered
finale_get_shipment

One shipment in full, including its shipment items (product, facility, quantity), packages and transfers. GET /{account}/api/shipment/{shipmentId}.

Discovered
finale_list_facilities

List Finale locations and sublocations: facilityName, facilityUrl (use it in other tools), parentFacilityUrl (set for sublocations), status. GET /{account}/api/facility/.

Discovered
finale_list_inventory_items

Current stock as Finale stores it: one entry per product, location, lot and order with quantityOnHand, quantityOnOrder (committed purchase orders) and quantityReserved (committed sales orders). The inventoryitem collection has no server-side filter, so the WHOLE collection is downloaded (one collection read of the 300 per hour; can be large on big accounts, up to the 50,000 character result cap) and filtered here: pass product_id or facility_url. For per-product totals use finale_get_product_stock. GET /{account}/api/inventoryitem/.

Discovered
finale_list_inventory_transfers

List stock transfers between locations: product, from/to facility, quantity, lot, send and receive dates. GET /{account}/api/inventorytransfer/.

Discovered
finale_list_orders

List orders without their line items: orderId, type (SALES_ORDER or PURCHASE_ORDER), status (ORDER_CREATED, ORDER_LOCKED = committed, ORDER_COMPLETED, ORDER_CANCELLED), dates, origin/destination facility, reference number, total. Get the items with finale_get_order. For a large order history always pass updated_since (Finale cuts unfiltered collections at 120,000 rows before applying other filters). GET /{account}/api/order/.

Discovered
finale_list_parties

List party groups (customers, suppliers, carriers): partyId (derived from partyUrl; use it as supplier_party_id when drafting a purchase order), name (description), type, roles, status. GET /{account}/api/partygroup/.

Discovered
finale_list_products

List products (SKUs): productId, internalName, status, productUrl, manufacturer, UPC, packing. Optional exact filters on productId and status. Collections come back ordered by lastUpdatedDate; for large catalogs narrow with updated_since or page with next_updated_since. GET /{account}/api/product/.

Discovered
finale_list_shipments

List shipments (sales shipments, purchase receipts, transfers): shipmentId, type, status (for example SHIPMENT_INPUT, SHIPMENT_PACKED, SHIPMENT_SHIPPED), order, origin/destination, dates, tracking code. GET /{account}/api/shipment/.

Discovered
finale_list_stock_changes

List stock changes (physical counts and adjustments already recorded in Finale): id, type, date, status, location, comments. Read-only history. GET /{account}/api/inventoryvariance/.
