Order details from Orders API doesn't have the location id listed in location API

[vptcalalog_Admi]

I'm using orders REST API "/admin/api/2020-01/orders.json" to get orders from Shopify. In the order data I'm getting "location_id" field is always null. And "origin_location" field have different location Id which is not listed in locations API. For example, I have only one location listed in my store. So locations API returns one location detail with ID as say "L1". So I expect in order data either "location_id" or "origin_location" will have "L1". But in my case I'm getting null in "location_id" and some other value in "origin_location".

Hey @vptcalalog_Admi,

There was a similar question asked here: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/Multi-Location-Shipping-and-origin-location/td-p/6...

Hi @SBD_ ,

If origin_location specifies the place where order is placed, What does location_id field indicates. Till few days before, origin_location Id, I got is matched with the values I got from locations API.

So based on your reply, to determine the fulfillment place for each order, I have to use Fulfillment Order API.

Hey @vptcalalog_Admi,

In regards to an order, location_id is the ID of the physical location where the order was processed. I believe this is null if you don't use POS.

So based on your reply, to determine the fulfillment place for each order, I have to use Fulfillment Order API.

That's right. Let me know if you get stuck!

Hi @SBD_,

I tried to use API call ==> "/admin/api/2020-01/orders/#{order_id}/fulfillment_orders.json" in the fulfillmentorder page, as you suggested in your reply. But all I'm getting is an empty array.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Hi @SBD_,

Is there any update on the issue? This is kind of urgent issue that needs to be fixed as early as possible. Please reply soon.

Hi @vptcalalog_Admi,

It could be that those test orders are from 2017 - are you able to test this with a fresh order?

Also, you'll probably need additional permissions like read_third_party_fulfillment_orders.

Let me know how you go.

Hey @vptcalalog_Admi,

1989418844221 doesn't have any fulfillments yet.

[vptcalalog_Admi]

Hi @SBD_,

The order 1988616781885 is from the same store and its items were partially shipped. Yet I am still getting an empty response for the API call "https://miari.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-01/orders/1988616781885/fulfillment_orders.json". I need to find the order's fulfillment location before the order is shipped. So, if I can't get fulfillment details immediately then how am I supposed to find it.

Please reply soon. Thank you.

Hey @vptcalalog_Admi 

You'll need read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders scope, otherwise an empty array is returned.
