Insert New Supplier Registration#

The goal of this API is to allow external systems to register suppliers from which they source products. The external system will provide the necessary information about the supplier, such as company name, address, VAT code, and other relevant details. Upon successful registration, the supplier will be stored in the 4ws.trade system.
This API enables external system to create a new supplier within the system. Once registered, this supplier can be subsequently utilized in the Insert product or the Update product for associating products.

Actors#

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

Preconditions#

The external system must have the necessary permissions and access to the document creation service, please refer to Authentication.
Required fields (such as supplier code and VAT code) must be provided by the external system.

Main Success Scenario#

1.
The external system sends a POST request to the API with the necessary supplier details.
2.
If the supplier is successfully registered, a 200 HTTP status is returned with the supplier's internal ID and subject code.

}
Response on success:
{
  "supplier": {
    "prog_id": 178175,
    "subject_code": "EXA01SUPP"
  }
}

Alternate Flows#

1.
Unique Constraint Error: If the supplier code already exists, the system returns a 422 error with the message:
{
  "message": "Unique constraint error"
}
2.
Missing Fields: If required fields are missing, the API will return a 400 error indicating the missing data.
