sandbox api

Working against DRI's systems

Workflow and Migration are not file uploads. Each participant gets an isolated copy of Deshmukh & Rao Industries — ERP, CRM, ticketing, the shared mailbox and the policy vault — behind a REST API. Your agent reads and writes it; scoring inspects the end state you leave behind.

authentication and limits

Base URL: /api/public/sandbox/v1 on this origin.
Every request carries Authorization: Bearer <your key>. Get your key from the Submit tab.
60 requests per minute per key. Over that you get HTTP 429.
JSON in, JSON out. Unknown fields are rejected with HTTP 400 rather than silently ignored.
POST /reset restores the seed state. It is free, unlimited, and never costs an attempt.

Onboard the casting vendor

The MD's exceptions report

Reconcile the vendor invoices against the purchase orders and post the exceptions report: a count per exception type and the total value at risk.

Dedupe the distributor master

The distributor master carries duplicate accounts. Merge each duplicate into its original by setting the duplicate's merged_into to the original's legacy_id. Leave every other customer alone.

migration · M1 · FIX-34336 checks

Load the 2023 price list

DRISHTI still carries the 2019 prices. Set drishti_price to list_price_2023 for every product that has a 2023 price. Products without one keep the price they already hold.

migration · M2 · FIX-343612 checks

Map FlowTech SKUs

Set mapped_dri_sku on each FT- product to a DRI SKU whose description equals the FlowTech description minus the " (FlowTech)" suffix and whose list_price_2023 matches.

migration · M3 · FIX-34475 checks

Finish the SalesTrack migration

For every customer still marked migrated_to_salestrack = N, flip it to Y and assign a crm_id of the form ST-##### that is unique across your customers. The 55 accounts already migrated keep the crm_id they have.

Each family scores as the mean of its three tasks; each task scores as the fraction of its checks that pass. Wiping rows instead of correcting them scores zero for that task.
