Note

There are dependent fields that can become queryable based on the value from the source field. For example, if you query against po-method=email, then po-email can be added as an additional query criteria. Please see fields with Yes*.
For large data set and performance optimization, always limit your result with some GET criteria.
If you do not set a status for the supplier, the system defaults to draft.
If you do not set a default payment method, the system defaults to invoice.
For the API to recognize custom fields, the fields must be set as API editable in the setup.
If you have Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) enabled in your environment, the Allow Supplier to Create Invoice field defaults to checked.
When updating the primary address of the supplier, you can update every attribute on the address object, but you cannot associate a different address ID to the supplier record.
When updating the primary contact on the supplier record, you can update every attribute on the contact information, but you cannot assign a completely different contact ID to the supplier record.
