Drop-ship orders

Drop-ship pre-allocation: per line, whether it can be filled, how much is short, when pre-sale stock arrives and what is payable. Note: pre-allocation holds stock — submit, or call DELETE …/{dropship_order_id}/allocation to release it

## Request body (JSON)

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `warehouse_code` **required** | string | Warehouse code: AU (Australia, all warehouses — aggregate view), AUSYD2 (Sydney main, Rosehill), AUSYD1 (Sydney accessories), CN (China, all warehouses — aggregate view), CHNZJ1 (Zhenjiang). Full list: GET /api/v1/warehouses. |
| `dropship_order_ids` **required** | array<string> | Array of drop-ship serial numbers (the serial_number returned when the line was created). Up to 200 per call. (1–200) |
| `use_reservation` | boolean | Whether to draw on your reserved (locked) stock for this allocation. Omit = do not use it. |

## Response

The envelope is decided by the HTTP status alone: 2xx with `{ data: … }` (lists also carry `page / page_size / has_more` or `total_count`); 4xx / 5xx with `{ error: { code, message, hint, request_id, doc_url } }`.

```json
{
  "data": { … }
}
```

A success response carries no human-readable text — no `code / result / msg`. `error.code` is the only field your code should branch on; `message` follows `Accept-Language`.

> Send an `Idempotency-Key` header (any unique string, e.g. a UUID) on writes: a network retry never creates a second order. Orders are drafts by default until a person confirms them in the ERP.
