Footprint Entity Expert

Reference for Footprint WMS domain knowledge that isn't derivable from OData metadata alone — navigation chains, business-rule filters, weight calculations, and other context you'd otherwise have to reverse-engineer from existing reports.

This skill sits above schema-explorer and datasource-creator: it tells you which entities to explore and what the gotchas are, before those skills do the mechanical work of validating fields and generating configs.

When to use this skill

Working on… Use this skill?
A report or flow that queries Tasks, Shipments, License Plates, Inventory, Materials, Lots, etc. Yes — start here before schema exploration
A datasource over an Archived... entity (shipping or receiving history) Yes — archive entities have specific nav chains
A weight or unit-of-measure calculation (case weight, pallet weight, totals) Yes — fixed vs catch weight branching is non-obvious
An app or report that has nothing to do with WMS data (custom org settings, generic dashboards) No — this skill won't apply
A report on data the customer added themselves (custom Material extension fields, etc.) Partial — use the entity references for the standard fields, then verify customer extensions with schema-explorer

If you're not sure whether the data is Footprint-shaped, the connection's apiConnectionTypeName is a good signal: FootPrintApi → yes, anything else → probably no.
