Catalog Items Example Calls

Create Sample Item

In this example we are creating an item.

We posted it to the URL: https://<instance>.coupahost.com/api/items

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item>
	 <active>true</active>
	 <description>Example API Created Item</description>
	 <item-number>ExpAPI1001</item-number>
	 <name>Example API Item 1001</name>
	 <commodity>
			<name>IT</name>
	 </commodity>
	 <uom>
			<code>EA</code>
	 </uom>
	 <reorder-alerts />
</item>

Below is the response that I received back when I posted the above:
