Understanding shipped_items for kits that change

GraphQL API
1

Hello,

We have found that if a kit product ships, you can see the component lots in the shipped_line_item_lots on the API. Separately using the API it seems we can see those kit_components by querying the product kit_components{} where kit is true.

My question is, if a kit changes, how do I know what kit components shipped out on the actual order? shipped_line_item_lots doesn’t show a sku – and if I attempt to fill the data myself by joining to kit_components I am worried if the kit changes the actual shipped skus may differ from the ones currently configured under as kit_components.

IE, order shipped a month ago, we changed the kit components last week

Thank you

Hey @kokua,

Thanks for hanging in there!

I can confirm that if you ship an order with a kit, then change the kit components the subsequent query will reflect the updated kit.

IE:

You ship an order with a kit that has 3 components, then you change the kit to have 2 components. Then you run a query on the order and that will return that the kit has only 2 components.

I’m not sure if it’s possible to have the data reflect like how you’re asking.

If interested this is the query I used:

{
  order(id: "334526978") {
    request_id
    complexity
    data {
      id
      legacy_id
      order_number
      partner_order_id
      shipments {
        id
        line_items(first: 5) {
          edges {
            node {
              id
              legacy_id
              line_item{
                id
                legacy_id
                sku
                quantity
                product{
                  kit_components{
                    id
                    sku
                    quantity
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}


Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi @sh-agent!

Thank you for getting back to me. I would argue that once the kit is shipped, the kit_components data should be denormalized on the shipment, or wherever is appropriate. Otherwise, there is no historical record of the shipped kit_components.

Thank you for checking, though!
