Creating an inbound

Creating an inbound

The create inbound endpoint is specifically for Fulfillment By Bol.com.

With this endpoint you can create an inbound which in turn will let us know when you’ll be sending a shipment to us with; a list of products, how much stock per product, which transporter you’ll use and if you’ll place the BSKU labels yourself or if you want to let us do the labelling.

POST /services/rest/inbounds
