Update supplier

PATCH
/api/v1/suppliers/{SUBJECT_CODE}
Last modified:2025-02-07 15:05:40

Updating A Supplier#

This API allows updating the supplier's details by specifying the SUBJECT_CODE. It accepts a PATCH request with the new supplier information and updates the existing record accordingly. A successful update returns the updated supplier details, while an error will be returned if the supplier is not found.
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.

Languages#

The API supports multilingual descriptions for the supplier's information, which can include description_it, description_en, etc. The JSON sample is given in English.

Preconditions#

The external system must have the necessary permissions and access to the document creation service, please refer to Authentication.
The API client must provide a valid SUBJECT_CODE in the request path to identify the supplier.
The client must send the correct JSON payload with the updated supplier details.

Main Success Scenario#

1.
The API client sends a PATCH request with the SUBJECT_CODE and the updated supplier data.
2.
The 4ws.suite Platform processes the request and updates the supplier data.
3.
The platform returns the updated supplier details, including the prog_id and subject_code.

Alternate Flows#

1.
Supplier Not Found: If the SUBJECT_CODE does not match any supplier in the system, the API will return an error with a message like "Supplier not found with subject_code: {{subject_code}}".
2.
Invalid Data: If the provided data is invalid or missing required fields, an error response will be returned.
