Insert a new supplier.

Description

Insert (add) a supplier to your existing relations. This encompasses all entities from which you receive invoices. For example, the tax authorities or a cleaning company. Also, for instance, the company from which you purchase office supplies.

The 200 response contains a field named 'reference'. It is important to save this value since it is used as an identifier for all the other operations to recognise this specific entity.

Use Case
