Response

Field name Type Description
supplierID integer Supplier ID
supplierType string COMPANY or PERSON.

  • For companies, the following attributes are set: fullName, companyName (both have the same value).
  • For persons, the following attributes are set: fullName, firstName, lastName. fullName is a combination of latter two: "lastName, firstName".

fullName can be used for displaying supplier's name wherever needed.

Guidelines for applications with a supplier edit form:
  • Companies should have one name field and the attribute that is edited should be companyName.
  • Persons should have separate fields for given name and surname (respective attributes: firstName, lastName).

Note: API call saveSupplier also has an input parameter "fullName" (when using that, system tries to interpret and split the name as required), but it should be used only when brokering data from some other system where a better data format is not available.
