Partners

Partners represent external organisations that a Consignly organisation interact with. Relationships are Client Partners (customers whose inventory is stored/shipped) and Carrier Partners (transport providers).

• Partner identity: Partners have an Id, Code, and metadata (addresses, contact details, custom unit types, GS1 configuration).
• Partner logos: Logos are managed at the partner level and used across the UI for branding and identification.
• Products & unit conversions: Client Partners can have associated products and product-level configuration. The Unit conversions and metric resolution (cascade vs compound) affect consignment metrics and charge calculations. Carrier Partners do not have products.

AuthContext partner override: Many endpoints support partner-scoped tokens. When the caller's token is partner-scoped the API will override the partnerId path parameter with the token's AuthContext.PartnerId. This allows partners to call endpoints without specifying their own ID explicitly.
