Update supplier

The Update supplier endpoint updates an existing supplier for a given company's connection.

Suppliers are people or organizations that provide something, such as a product or service.

Integration-specific behavior

Required data may vary by integration. To see what data to post, first call Get create/update supplier model.

put/companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/push/suppliers/{supplierId}

Query parameters

timeoutInMinutesinteger

Time limit for the push operation to complete before it is timed out.

forceUpdateboolean

When updating data in the destination platform Codat checks the sourceModifiedDate against the lastupdated date from the accounting software, if they're different Codat will return an error suggesting you should initiate another pull of the data. If this is set to true then the update will override this check.

The date when the record was last fetched from the accounting software, commerce software, or open banking provider and updated in Codat’s data cache.

Use it to identify and retrieve records that have changed since your last fetch. For example, filtering modifiedDate to today will provide new records updated in Codat today.

This date is populated for all data types except for attachments, balance sheets, company information, and profit & loss reports (read more).

In Codat's data model, dates and times are represented using the <a class="external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601" target="_blank">ISO 8601 standard</a>.

sourceModifiedDatestring

The date when a record was last modified in the accounting software, usually by the business or a business process. For example, when payments are made against an invoice.

It is not populated (read more) when:

  • Pulling attachments
  • The accounting software does not provide modification dates for a data type
  • A record has been deleted from the source platform and Codat doesn't have a record of when the deletion occurred
  • A record has been voided. For certain platforms that soft delete records, isDeleted metadata is used to identify void records
