Record an order from before Manifold as history

PUT /historical-orders/{orderId}

Record an order from before Manifold as history, whole as the source reports it: number, date, lines with their tax lines, charges, money and outcome.

An open order is mirrored — re-recorded as the source works it, adopted as a live order at go live. History holds no stock, ships nothing, is never billed or posted to the ledger. orderId is derived from the order's history key, so a re-import names the same order; an id a live order holds is 409 OrderNotHistorical; a channel source is the providing app's alone (403 ChannelSourceForbidden). placedAt before 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z is refused (400). A currency other than the organization's home currency (GET /settings) is converted into it at a central bank's published rate for the last business day on or before placedAt — the bank local to the home currency first, then the ECB, then a cross through another bank's currency — and the order is kept in the home currency with its conversion (source, rate, date, the original money); a currency no bank covers is 409 HistoricalOrderCurrencyUnsupported, and the home currency unreadable is 502 InventoryUnavailable. Appends fulfillment.historical-order-recorded. Idempotent by content: the same body appends nothing, a different one replaces it, keeping Manifold's refunds and an adoption.

Access

Requires orders:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by content: the same body appends nothing, a different one replaces it, keeping Manifold's refunds and an adoption.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

fulfillment.historical-order-recorded

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. history arrives in bulk, through an import's fulfillment.historical-order target or a channel app's own import; an agent brings orders in with the import tools, never one at a time

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: fulfillment-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`ChannelSourceForbidden` channelId, reason	Only the app that provides a channel may send orders from it.	Send the order with `source` `api`, or from the channel's own app.
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`OrderNotHistorical` orderId	The order is a live order, not history.	Use the live order's own calls.
`HistoricalOrderCurrencyUnsupported` orderId, currency, homeCurrency, reason	The order's currency cannot be converted to the home currency. `reason` says why.	Record it in a supported currency.
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`502`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`InventoryUnavailable` reason	The inventory service did not answer, so nothing changed.	Send the same request again shortly.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
