Purchase order copies resource

Please note:

  • Copies only exist after the Purchase Order is submitted.
  • Copies can't be created manually. They are created by the Acquisitions system once an order is submitted.
  • Copies can't be changed directly. They can only be modified through the receiving action. 

Building a query:

To access a collection of purchase order copies construct the URL in the following manner:

https://acq.sd00.worldcat.org/purchaseorders/{orderNumber}/items/{orderItemNumber}/copies?inst={institution_id}

To access information on a specific purchase order copy construct the URL in the following manner:

https://acq.sd00.worldcat.org/purchaseorders/{orderNumber}/items/{orderItemNumber}/copies/{copyNumber}?inst={institution_id}

where {query}, {orderNumber}, or {orderItemNumber} provide information about the purchase order copy you are requesting information for.
