Generated from the schema

It takes no body, and it is a sub-resource and not a patch of status because the server checks the order before moving it. Only a draft with a supplier is approved: any other status —an order already approved, too— responds 409 conflict naming it, and a draft without supplier responds 409 as well; nothing changes in either case. Returns the full purchase order, the same projection as its GET.

Authorizations

Bearer API key with the scope below. purchase-orders:write

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Unique identifier of the request, chosen by the client (a UUID works). Between 1 and 255 characters: an empty header is rejected with 400 validation_error, because the client would believe itself protected. Repeating the same key with the SAME body within 24 h returns the stored response without executing again, with the Idempotent-Replay: true header. With a DIFFERENT body it returns 422. It is the safe way to retry after a network timeout.

Limits: min length 1, max length 255

Example:"9f1c2f4e-3a5b-4f6d-8e7a-0b1c2d3e4f5a"

If-Matchstring

Optimistic locking: the ETag you read from the resource (or *). If the resource changed since, the write is rejected with 412 precondition_failed before doing anything; read it again and retry. Without the header the write always proceeds.

Example:"\"3sT3d9pBvZq4h2N0w8x1YkLmQ7c\""

Path parameters

dataobject

Purchase order to a supplier. The amounts are COST amounts, because the object is a purchase. The lines are not published, so the expense cannot be attributed to a specific item of a rental.
