how do I get all updated/fulfilled purchase orders from last one hour? From the below API, I don’t see any “updated\_at” query params > purchase\_orders( > sku: String > warehouse\_id: String > created\_from: ISODateTime > created\_to: ISODateTime > po\_date\_from: ISODateTime > po\_date\_to: ISODateTime > customer\_account\_id: String > analyze: Boolean > ): Please help. Thanks!!! ---

Hi @kalesha! We don’t have that field available at the moment for filtering, would using the PO Update Webhook work for you? > **[Webhooks – Developer Resources | ShipHero](https://developer.shiphero.com/webhooks/)** ---

Hi Tomas, thanks for replying my query. But according to the documentation - > Although it is not often, it is possible for a webhook not to fire, and that is why your app should not rely just on receiving data from our webhooks. > The webhook delivery is not always guaranteed, so we strongly suggest implementing reconciliation jobs to periodically fetch data from ShipHero. > Our most important Queries have both the `created_at_min` and `updated_at_min` filter parameters., which will allow you to build a job that fetches all resources that have been created or updated since the last time the job ran. How do we make reconciliation jobs for purchase orders? ---

Hi @kalesha! In that case, you would need to fetch the POs and check if there have been any changes to the status of the Purchase Order compared to what you have on your system. For example, for all the POs that are not Closed, or Canceled on your system you could Query to get the current status or quantities and if it is not the same as what you have on your system, update it to the new value. Let me know if that doesn’t help or I could explain better. Thanks again! Tom ---

Hi Tomas, Unfortunately as a middleware developer I don not maintain target system data (like how many pos processed for the day). It doesnt work for me. Only reason we opt for webhooks is, there is no feasibly from po query to find out updated pos. I can not query all the active pos in the system and compare against target system. It is really painful as a developer with these many limitations on your system. Anyway can you help me with this situation- I would need a feasibly in po query to get updated pos (or) give an assurance from your system that webhooks deliver all the updates to the subscriber? ---

Hi @kalesha! > [@kalesha](#): > > Anyway can you help me with this situation- > I would need a feasibly in po query to get updated pos (or) give an assurance from your system that webhooks deliver all the updates to the subscriber? Webhooks should work for that purpose, they should not fail, and if they do we should fix that, we do suggest doing some kind of reconciliation jobs, for example, fetching updates for the POs that you have in your system that is still pending (which should not be much and should not consult many credits), would you be able to share a `request_id` linked to your customer’s account? that way I could see how many POs are regularly and help paint a picture of the credit consumption it will require? Thanks again! Tom ---

Thanks @tomasw Please ref request id: 5fb38e97702019a684311ba7 Can you give me an example query for reconciliation of purchase order. Thanks, Kalesha ---

Hi @kalesha! Thanks for that information! In that case, I see you have 103 pending POs, all of them with not more than 5 line items. Bue let’s assume you have 100 items on the PO. In that case, you will only need a Query to check for those POs their status, and all of their line items, and you will need it to run it twice. The first response will contain 100 POs and the second the remaining 3. The Query is the following: ``` query { purchase_orders { request_id complexity data(first: 100) { pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } edges { node { id legacy_id po_number account_id warehouse_id vendor_id created_at po_date date_closed fulfillment_status po_note line_items(first: 10) { pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } edges { node { id legacy_id po_id account_id warehouse_id vendor_id po_number sku vendor_sku product_id variant_id quantity quantity_received quantity_rejected price product_name option_title expected_weight_in_lbs fulfillment_status sell_ahead note partner_line_item_id barcode updated_at created_at } cursor } } } cursor } } } } ``` For the second response, [you will need to paginate using the cursor](https://developer.shiphero.com/graphql-primer/#pagination) on the PO section. Let me know if that still doesn’t help. Thanks again! Tom ---

Hi Tomas, Thanks for replying. Im in the process of implementing po webhook and I found that “rejectedquantity” and "vendor\_sku"is not there in po sample( [Webhooks – Developer Resources | ShipHero](https://developer.shiphero.com/webhooks#po-update-webhook) . How do we get our desired fields in po webhook call? Thanks, -Kalesha ---

Hi @kalesha! That is correct, that data is not sent with the webhook. A possible workaround for that would be to send this query back when you receive the webhook notification: ``` query{ purchase_order(id:"569020"){ request_id complexity data{ line_items(first:10){ edges { node { quantity quantity_received quantity_rejected vendor_sku } } } } } } ``` Which will provide you of the details you need. Let me know if this wont work for you. Thanks in advance! Tom ---

Hi Tomas, While registering for webhook in shiphero, i got “po update” webhook already exists. There are more than one partner using shiphero. My questions are, 1. Can i register more than on (same) webhook? 2. Are these webhooks linked to wholes shiphero account or developer key? Because we wanted to have exclusive access to our webhooks, and we dont want others to update/delete our configurations. thanks. ---

Hi @kalesha! You can only have one webhook per account (one of each type). For example: You can have 1 po\_update webhook and 1 shipment\_update webhook But you cannot have 2 po\_update webhooks registered to that same account Let me know if that might sound confusing or I could explain better. Thanks again! Tom
