Hello all, What ID do I put in the Owner Field of a PO. When I use the Employee id it does not work.
"error": "'Owner' cannot be empty."
"Owner": {
"value": "4264",
"error": "Owner 'E00003 ' cannot be found in the system."
},
Solved
Create PO with API

I tested by creating a PO and it was created with correct Owner value, screenshot below:
This field is expecting the “ContactID”
UI:
1. Are you able to create PO with this employee from the UI? If not, here’s what we need to follow.
- However, if it works from the UI and not only from the API, then I would create a PO from UI and perform a GET request for it and observe what is returned in Owner field.
For e.g. GET : {sitename}/Default/22.200.001/PurchaseOrder/Normal/POXXXXX
Thank you that is all setup. I think there is an issue with the test instance. I get the same error when manually entering, but when I press save it saves the owner. Yet it know who E00003 is,
Did you get a chance to check what is returned for the PO which you created from UI with this owner.

Sorry for the late reply. I see it is using the contact id. I am able to create now. Thank you very much.
Now to figure out how to set the approver….
There is a approver Tab on the PO. I do not see it in the API, and if I try to extend the API I am not sure which object to add as I do not see it. Is this possible? I also do not see the approver when I get the PO through the API either. Our PO’s are approved in a 3rd party system so they have a owner and an approver already.
