Create supplier plant

Authorizations

X-API-Key
string
header
required

Per-manufacturer API key in the X-API-Key header, format emidat-{key_id}-{secret} where key_id is a random public handle. Issued by an owner in the Emidat dashboard; carries its own permission scopes, optional plant restrictions, and optional expiry. A revoked, expired, or unknown key returns 401. See the Authentication guide for details.

Headers

Idempotency-Key
string

Optional client-generated key of 1–255 characters (e.g. a UUID) that makes a create idempotent — the only mechanism that does so. A replay carrying the same key returns the original response unchanged (200); reusing a key with a different request body (compared byte for byte) or create endpoint is rejected with 409 err_idempotency_key_reused. Concurrent requests with the same key receive 409 err_idempotency_in_progress. Keys are scoped to your manufacturer; successful responses are retained for 6h without extending that window on replay. Current permissions are required on every retry; product-instance replays also require the original production-data scopes. Deduplication is best effort: Redis data loss can end the window early, and Redis unavailability, timeouts, or unreadable cache entries can allow creation without replay protection. Successful creates still return 201 if caching fails. Redis waits share a two-second budget excluding creation time. Incompatible replay-format upgrades reset replay protection, so retries across that boundary can create again. An interrupted create can reserve the key for up to 6h. See External IDs for recovery guidance.

Required string length: 1 - 255

Body

application/json
external_id
string | null
required

Your own code for this supplier plant. Required; pass null if unset. A non-null code must be unique among your active supplier plants; a duplicate returns 409 (see External IDs).

Example:

"SUPPLIER-PLANT-DE-001"

supplier_company_id
string<uuid>
required

UUID of the parent supplier company. Create via POST /v2/supplier-companies, or resolve your code with GET /v2/supplier-companies?plant_id=…&external_id=….

name
string
required

Name of the supplier plant. Unique among that supplier company's active plants, compared ignoring case and surrounding whitespace — a name already held returns 409 (err_supplier_plant_name_exists). Two different supplier companies may each have a plant of the same name.

Example:

"Acme Materials — Munich"

address
object
required

A postal address to store. Only country is required; every other field is optional and stored as null when omitted. Do not send a country beside this object — this is where it belongs.

Response

Returned unchanged — an Idempotency-Key replay.

id
string<uuid>
required

Use this UUID as supplier_plant_id when creating supplier products.

external_id
string | null
required

Your own code for this supplier plant. null when none is set.

supplier_company_id
string<uuid>
required

UUID of the parent supplier company.

name
string
required
Example:

"Acme Materials — Munich"

address
object
required

A postal address. country is the only field always present; the rest are null when they were never captured. This object holds the country — the resources carrying an address do not repeat it alongside.

created_at
string<date-time>
required
