Purpose: Retrieve or update supplier details

This workflow is typically used in cases where the supplier information is needed in order to post transactions. It is also needed in cases where the integrating party need to synchronize supplier information to make sure that PowerOffice GO and their own systems have the same information about their suppliers.

Regardless of the direction of the data flow, we highly recommend that the integrating party store the Id's of the PowerOffice objects. In general, the id's of all the various PowerOffice entities are the preferred mapping key, as they are uniquely assigned by the system and cannot be changed.

Dictionary/Terminology:

PowerOffice Go distinguishes between companies and persons, governed by the boolean property <IsPerson>. Suppliers are normally companies, but this property should be applied in the case of the supplier being a person.
