Vendor Types

Vendor types organize vendors into categories that define meaningful segments for your business. Each vendor is assigned a single vendor type.

Get Vendor Type Object Definition

List all the fields and relationships for the vendor type object:

<lookup>
    <object>VENDTYPE</object>
</lookup>

Name	Required	Type	Description
object	Required	string	Use `VENDTYPE`

List the record number and name for each vendor type:

<query>
    <object>VENDTYPE</object>
    <select>
        <field>RECORDNO</field>
        <field>NAME</field>
    </select>
</query>

Name	Required	Type	Description
object	Required	string	Use `VENDTYPE`
filter	Optional	object	Filter expression to limit the response to only objects that match the expression. Check the value of a single field using operators such as equalto/like, or multiple fields using and/or. Query fields on related objects using the dot operator (for example, `VENDOR.CREDITLIMIT` on APBILL).
select	Required	sequence	The names of the fields that you want included in the response, and an optional aggregate function such as `count` or `sum`. Returning all fields is not supported.
orderby	Optional	object	Provide an `order` element with a field name and choose an ascending or descending sort order, for example: `<order> <field>RECORDNO</field> <descending/> </order>`
options	Optional	object	Query options: Set the `caseinsensitive` element to `true` for a case-insensitive query `<caseinsensitive>true</caseinsensitive>` In a multi-entity company, set the `showprivate` element to `true` to query data in private entities: `<showprivate>true</showprivate>` Specify the `returnformat` for the response: `xml` (default), `json`, or `csv` `<returnformat>json</returnformat>`
pagesize	Optional	integer	Maximum number of matching objects to return in the response, between `1` and `2000` items (Default: `100`)
offset	Optional	integer	Point at which to start indexing into records (Default: `0`)

<readByQuery>
    <object>VENDTYPE</object>
    <fields>*</fields>
    <query></query>
    <pagesize>100</pagesize>
</readByQuery>

Name	Required	Type	Description
object	Required	string	Use `VENDTYPE`
fields	Optional	string	Comma-separated list of fields on the object to list. For best performance and predictability, limit the number of fields. To return all fields, omit the element or provide `*` for the value.
query	Required	string	SQL-like query based on fields on the object. The following operators are supported: `<`, `>`, `>=`, `<=`, `=`, `like`, `not like`, `in`, `not in`, `IS NOT NULL`, `IS NULL`, `AND`, `OR`. Illegal XML characters must be properly encoded, and single quotes must be escaped with backslashes (`'Jane\'s Deli'`). Joins are not supported.
pagesize	Optional	integer	Custom page size between `1` and `1000` items (Default: `100`)
