Attach a document to an order response

You can attach documents using three methods:

1. Upload your document to the Tradecloud object-storage and attach the objectId to the order or line.
2. Upload your document to your company’s content server and attach the url to the order or line.
3. Only attach document meta data, such as document code/number, revision and name.

Step 1. Upload a document to the Tradecloud object-storage

Use the Upload document endpoint to upload the document to the Tradecloud object-storage and remember the returned document objectId.

Step 2. Attach the uploaded document in the order message using the /order/order-response API

You can attach documents using the documents field on either order or lines level in the body of the Send order response endpoint:
