What data for this category looks like
Data for this category comes from multiple sources. These include purchase orders, drawing specifications, supplier quality certificates, inspection equipment data, historical quality records, supplier portals, and more. One inspection record is generated per incoming material batch. Supplier overall evaluations are conducted monthly or quarterly. Supplier audits are carried out irregularly. Daily documents include inspection specifications, sampling plans, incoming material inspection reports, supplier audit reports, exception contact sheets, 8D reports, and concession acceptance approval forms. Fields include incoming material batch identifiers, supplier codes, inspection project parameters, qualified judgment results, exception levels, rectification statuses, and more. There is no fixed uniform character length for a single record. Values change dynamically based on inspection batches and audit content.
Constraints imposed on HTTP interfaces and external systems by these characteristics
Multiple data sources require interfaces to support integration with external systems that have different permission levels. Interfaces must match the authentication rules of each connected system. The high-frequency update cadence requires interfaces to handle batch calls for each incoming material batch. This avoids data synchronization interruptions caused by timeouts. Diverse document types require interfaces to support upload and parsing of multiple file formats including xlsx, pdf, and others. The dynamic nature of fields requires interfaces to flexibly filter returned content. This adapts to personalized needs for different ledger aggregations. The business characteristic of severe error consequences requires interfaces to include retry and exception alert mechanisms. This ensures the reliability of data synchronization.
Configuration settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication configuration | Configure Authorization in Bearer token format, assign exclusive keys based on connected systems | Match the authentication specifications of supplier portals and procurement systems, ensure the legality of interface calls |
| Global variable binding | Bind incoming material batch numbers and supplier codes to variables | Enable associated matching and batch aggregation of multi-batch data |
| Return data processing | Filter responseData to retain only inspection batch, judgment result, and rectification status fields | Reduce transmitted data volume and improve ledger generation efficiency |
| Request timeout setting | 30–60 seconds | Adapt to the conventional processing cycle of incoming material inspection sheets, avoid single-call blocking |
| Retry strategy configuration | Retry 2 times after failure, with a 5-second interval | Address temporary network fluctuations and ensure critical data synchronization |
This configuration applies to FastGPT v4.17.0.
Three common misconfigurations
- Calls to external interfaces may return the
aiPointsNotEnougherror or an AWS-related SDK error. This occurs when sufficient interface call quotas are not configured, or when authentication parameter configuration errors cause system permission verification to fail. - Circular calls to HTTP interfaces in workflows may result in data confusion or duplicate submissions. This occurs when a loop termination condition is not set, or when correct global variables are not bound to control the batch range.
- After uploading an xlsx-format incoming material inspection report, AI conversation cannot be completed. This occurs when file parsing field mapping rules are not configured, and when inspection batch and supplier information in the xlsx file are not associated with ledger fields.
How to confirm configurations are complete
- Initiate an interface call for a single incoming material batch, check whether the returned
responseDataonly includes the preset inspection batch, judgment result, and rectification status fields. - View the
Authorizationauthentication configuration, initiate a test call, and confirm that no 401 or 403 status codes are returned, and that supplier portals and procurement systems can be connected normally. - Start a workflow for circular calls, confirm that each batch of incoming material data is processed sequentially according to the bound
variablesglobal variables, with no duplicate or missing batches. - Upload a standard xlsx-format incoming material inspection report, confirm that the parsed fields can be correctly mapped to the corresponding items in the ledger aggregation.
