addVariantToOrderAndCommit causes an additional fulfilment to be added to order

addVariantToOrderAndCommit causes an additional fulfilment to be added to order

Hey guys,

 

We're using the GraphQL API to add free products to some orders post-purchase:

 

mutation beginEdit(
      $orderId: ID!
    ){
      orderEditBegin(id: $orderId){
        calculatedOrder{
          id
        }
      }
    }

 Followed by:

mutation addVariantToOrderAndCommit(
      $calculatedOrderId: ID!
      $variantId: ID!
      $quantity: Int!
      $allowDuplicates: Boolean
    ){
      orderEditAddVariant(id: $calculatedOrderId, variantId: $variantId, quantity: $quantity, allowDuplicates: $allowDuplicates){
        calculatedOrder {
          id
          addedLineItems(first:5) {
            edges {
              node {
                id
                quantity
              }
            }
          }
        }
        userErrors {
          field
          message
        }
      }
    }

We're POSTing this to the /admin/api/2021-10/graphql.json endpoint.

 

The item gets added correctly to an order, HOWEVER, the call creates and the item gets added into a new fulfilment, rather than into the existing fulfilment, which causes major problems for our dispatch team (as the items are small enough to send out in a single fulfilment, and our shipping label mechanism goes into sensory overload)

 

Once an order is edited, we see the following in the order management screen:

Some additional points which may be of importance here:

  • The order is paid but always unfulfilled when we send the API call
  • All items in the original order (pre-API-edit) are on SubscriptionContracts with SellingPlans
  • We're using Bold Subscriptions to manage subscriptions
  • We're adding a standard product variant to the order, not a special "free gift" product - the product has a shipping weight and normal price, which we 100% discount.
  • We have a "Subscriptions" delivery profile, set up via the GraphQL API, which is only applicable to products on SellingPlans

Has anyone experienced this before or know a way to combine fulfilments?

 

Thanks,


Ryan
