V2 Rest API - creating reusable PO items

Extensibility
1

We are using the new v2 REST API and need to create reusable Purchase Order Inventory items — i.e. the items shown under Purchases → Purchase Orders → Purchase order inventory management — with purchase nominal codes such as 5000/5020.

POST /inventory appears to create sales inventory and rejects purchase nominal codes. Is there a supported v2 REST endpoint or parameter for creating Purchase Order Inventory items?

If not, can the legacy Item_Create method create a Purchase Order Inventory item rather than a Sales Inventory item, and if so what field identifies it as purchase inventory?

Hi @KeynshamTownFC

Our initial goal is to ensure that our new REST API matches the functionality of the original API, which in this case, it does. I appreciate that doesn’t help you in this case, but I will refer it to our development team to see if we’re able to add support for purchase order items, too.

In short - not possible at the moment, but we’ll see what we can do.

Hi @KeynshamTownFC

This has been added, with a new type field taking a value of item, task or po:

{
  "item_name": "Test item",
  "item_description": "Purchase test",
  "unit_cost": 1.64,
  "item_type": "po",
  "vat_rate": 0,
  "nominal_code": 5000,
  "qty": 22
}
