Create a Purchase Order

You can use the Create Purchase Orders REST APIs to create purchase orders.

In preparation for order creation you can search for:

• Order Numbers

• Terms

• Suppliers

• Items

• Locations

The Create Purchase Order REST APIs integrate your external systems with Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service. As an example, here is how it is done:

1. The external system sends a request to the REST API to create a purchase order.
2. The REST API receives the request and:

   • Processes the request

   • Validates the information

   • Responds to the non-Oracle application

3. If the information is valid, the purchase order is created and a success response is sent back to the non-Oracle application.
4. If the information is invalid, an error response is sent back to the non-Oracle application.
   This flowchart shows you how a purchase order is created.
