- 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.
