A quote id that does not exist or belongs to a different entity returns 404 `quote_not_found`; requires `orders:write` scope. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml post /freight_quotes/{id}/accept openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Arcus ERP Public API version: 1.0.0 description: > Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data migration. **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header. Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent__` (or `ark_test_*` for sandbox). API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**. **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are flat (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform endpoints (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags. **Key capabilities.** - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource). - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`). - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header. - Webhook events for asynchronous notification. - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation. **Changelog.** Entries are dated and name every published contract whose MEANING moved, not only the ones whose field names changed. The narrative version of the same entries, written for integrators, is published at https://arcuserp.mintlify.app/changelog. **2026-09-22 (planned 2026-09-21), REORDER-BUYER-TRUTH: demand changed what it MEANS on three published contracts, with no field renamed.** An integrator that pins field names sees no breakage and different numbers, which is why this entry exists. - **Demand now counts build consumption.** `demand_avg_per_day` on the public product, kit and inventory-balance objects, and `daily_demand` / `demand_basis` / `net_suggested_qty` on `GET /v1/purchasing/reorder-report`, are composed from fulfilled sales lines PLUS posted `build_consume` inventory draws: each physical decrement of a product counts exactly once. The previous rule adopted an internal-consumption basis only when the sales blend was exactly zero, so a product both sold AND consumed into work orders planned as if the build draws did not exist. Products drawn into work orders move; on one production-shaped dataset five did, the largest from 0.05/day to 14.95/day. - **`demand_basis` now carries four values, not two:** `sales`, `sales_and_builds`, `builds` and `consumption`. A consumer with a two-branch reader (anything that is not `consumption` is `sales`) silently hides the two new ones. - **`current_demand_units` on `GET /v1/inventory/balances/:id` moved, by a second rule.** It counts committed-but-unshipped CUSTOMER demand, and it now counts a kit component's own line rather than its parent kit line, and excludes non-sales documents. On one production dataset 269 of 1,043 balance rows changed, 227 of them downward; the largest single move was 1,941 to 25, on a product whose open PURCHASE order line had been reported as customer demand. Re-baseline anything that alerts or reorders off this field. - `run_rate_30/90/180/365` and `blended_daily` on the same balance object move for the first reason above. - **Added, not changed:** `GET /v1/purchasing/reorder-report` accepts `demand_window` and returns the unit, cover-through and reorder-point-provenance fields documented on that operation; `order_multiple` is accepted and returned on the product-vendor doors. - **Volume note.** The `inventory.low_stock`, `inventory.out_of_stock` and `inventory.back_in_stock` webhook events are population-gated on `on_hand <= reorder_point`, and reorder points move with the demand above, so subscribers should expect a one-time step change in event volume around the release. servers: - url: https://api.arcuserp.com/v1 description: Arcus ERP API (accepts both live `ark_live_*` and test `ark_test_*` keys) - url: https://dev-api.arcuserp.com/v1 description: >- Dev sandbox API (test-only data, accepts `ark_test_*` keys against dev RDS) security: [] paths: /freight_quotes/{id}/accept: parameters: - name: id in: path required: true schema: type: string format: uuid post: tags: - Freight summary: Accept a freight quote description: >- Marks a freight quote accepted and adds its amount into the order's `shipping_total`; only one quote per order may be accepted at a time.
