Creating a New Product Brand#

The API allows external systems to create new brands for products they manage. The external system sends the necessary information (e.g., brand code, description) to register the brand within the product management system.

Languages#

To understand how languages are managed, please refer to our Managing Languages Documentation.

Actors#

API Client: The system or user initiating the request.
4ws.trade: The backend system that processes the request.

Preconditions#

The brand code should not already exist in the system.
The external system must have the necessary permissions and access to the document creation service, please refer to Authentication.

Main Success Scenario#

If the brand is created successfully, the system will return an HTTP 200 response with the internal program ID (prog_id) and the created brand_code.
Example Response:
{
  "brand": {
    "prog_id": 1065,
    "brand_code": "Heathcote, Mosciski and Paucek"
  }
}

Alternate Flows#

1.
Brand code already exists:
If the brand_code already exists in the system, the following error will be returned:
{
  "message": "brand_code with {brand_code} already exists"
}
HTTP Status: 422 Unprocessable Entity

Best Practices
Please refer to Best Practices for Error Handling in External System for best practices on implementation.
