Purchase Order Type Mismatch

Question

Hello,&nbsp;We are having an issue where we have a Supplier setup as a 'ITEM' purchasing type.&nbsp;However when any order is raised, when queried through the API, the PO is being returned on the service order endpoint.&nbsp;our supplier:https://ar1.api.myob.com/accountright/XXXXXXX/Contact/Supplier/ZZZZZZZ&nbsp;&nbsp;PrintedForm"CS Purchase Order"string&nbsp;PurchaseCommentnullstring&nbsp;PurchaseLayoutItemMYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Contracts.Version2.Contact.PurchaseLayoutType&nbsp;PurchaseOrderDeliveryNothingMYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Contracts.Version2.Sale.DocumentAction?&nbsp;ShippingMethodnullstring&nbsp;The order returnedhttps://ar1.api.myob.com/accountright/XXXXXXX/Purchase/Order/Service/YYYYYY&nbsp;We are attempting to integrate MYOB to our suppliers system, but to do so we need the inventory codes that are only available with an ITEM Purchase order line item payload.&nbsp;Service type orders do not offer this.&nbsp;Attached screenshot of the Order, shows that Items have been selected. Dispite this the order is still returned on the service endpoint&nbsp;

I've setup a test supplier as an item type order template and raised po's all works fine, orders come through on the ItemOrder endpoint.&nbsp;I call customer support they went through the order and supplier and all was set correctly and was indeed an Item Type po.&nbsp;The api/sdk doesnt agree.&nbsp;I've raised a ticket with API support, i suspect theres a data issue with the supplier card in question.

How are you querying it through the API?

I have found (using the SDK) that if you use the Order endpoint to get all orders

https://developer.myob.com/api/accountright/v2/purchase/order/

an item order has an OrderType of 'Item'.

If you use the Order/Item endpoint to get just item orders

https://developer.myob.com/api/accountright/v2/purchase/order/order_item/

all the orders say they have an OrderType of 'Service'.

This appears to be a bug, but since you are only asking for Item Orders, just ignore it.

Does that help?

Hi John, Thanks for the reply.&nbsp;No, but it may confirm a bug.&nbsp;We arent interested in service orders, we need the item orders to access the inventory par numvers/item codes against each line item. This then gets passed on you our supplier where the matching part numbers are used to generate an invoice in their system.&nbsp;Because out 'item' type orders are returned on the service endpoint, this stuffs everything up, the service item model does not contain the inventory codes, just a narration, which cant be used with our supplier.&nbsp;Our workflow:- We are calling ite Item PO endpoint.- Supplieris setup as an "Item" template/type.- orders raised in myob are clearly of item type format (your prompted for inventory codes, the header of the form says "Purchases Edit Item")- Yet when we call the sdk, we get NO orders on the item endpoint, and all orders on the service endpoint.&nbsp;The po's should be returned on the items endpoint, but they arent.&nbsp;Either a data issue or a sdk/api bug.

Hi armh,&nbsp;We only deal with item orders, and are getting the item orders by supplier using the item orders endpoint ok I believe.Although, as I said, they are marked as service orders which is no doubt a bug and may be related.I have also found that the Item Orders endpoint returns orders that have been converted to bills, which I don't think it should.I think the API code in this area needs reviewing.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
