Create purchase order

​

Create a purchase order along with its line items and its vendor and buyer contact records, in a single call.

This endpoint creates only. A purchaseOrderNumber you have already used returns 409 Conflict rather than updating the existing purchase order.

The vendor and contacts are matched before being created: reusing a vendor.vendorCode or a contact you have sent before links the new purchase order to the existing record instead of duplicating it.

purchaseOrderDate accepts either a calendar day (2026-08-18) or a full timestamp; only the UTC calendar day is stored.
