Update Batch Job

​

Pre Dispatch Updates

Updating a job should always work before a quote is selected. Some updates may result in pricing changes

Please note that you are only able to update the package delivery times and the pickup or dropoff addresses before an order has been dispatched to a fleet. If any task in a job is dispatched and a delivery time or address are attempted to be updated, then an error will be thrown by the endpoint.

If you update any of the following fields, then the quotes returned by the job will be refreshed and the endpoint will return a new set of quotes. Moreover, any existing quotes (and quote IDs) will be invalid for dispatch. The fields that will force a refresh in the Quotes:

1. pickupAddress
2. dropoffAddress
3. packagePickupStartTime
4. packagePickupEndTime
5. packageDropoffStartTime
6. packageDropoffEndTime
7. packageDeliveryMode
8. packageRequirements
9. packageMinimumVehicleSize
10. packageValue: for this field, it can also be updated in the post-dispatch stage

​

Note on Updating Times

If you wish to update the times of a Job, you must provide at least one time constraint out of packagePickupStartTime, packagePickupEndTime, packageDropoffStartTime, and packageDropoffEndTime. Times that are not specified will be calculated by Nash, and the previous times not included in the Update Request will be overwritten. Therefore, if you want to update only one time field and keep the rest the same, you must provide them in the parameters of the Update Request.

If you change a packageDeliveryMode=SCHEDULED job to NOW, you do not need to specify any other time fields.

​

Post Dispatch Updates

If a quote has been selected or the job is dispatched via auto-dispatch, Nash will return an error if any of the assigned fleets in the job reject the update of the order.

In the post-dispatch stage, updating the package value of the job may result in a price change, based on how the providers calculate their pricing.

Below is a list of fields that are allowed to be updated, with more details on pre-dispatch or post-dispatch restrictions.
