    Summary of Spendint API - POST /snspendintg/spendint/price

    The Spendint API endpoint/snspendintg/spendint/priceenables ServiceNow customers to update pricing information for supplier product records. It uses the product SKU to identify existing supplier products and updates their contract prices accordingly. If no matching product is found, the API returns an error indicating the product does not exist.

    Key Features

    • Product Pricing Update: Updates contract prices for supplier products identified by SKU.
    • Error Handling: Returns detailed error messages when products are missing or data validation issues occur.
    • Status Monitoring: Customers can query the Price Error and Outbound Status tables via REST API to track failed price import requests, filtering by supplier ID and error state.
    • Request Modes: Supports asynchronous (async) and synchronous (sync) modes for third-party integrations, with asynchronous as default.
    • Batch Processing: Allows updating up to 1000 products per transaction.

    Request Parameters

    • Path parameters: None required.
    • Query parameters: mode to specify async or sync execution.
    • Request body: Must include customerid, catalogid, supplierid, optional thirdpartyimportid, and a list of products.

    Each product entry must include:

    • sku (unique product identifier)
    • contractagreement object with required fields: contractnumber, negotiatedcurrency, negotiatedprice, and optional contractstartdate and contractenddate in YYYY-MM-DD format.

    Headers

    • Request: Accept header to specify response format (only application/json supported for Procurement Integration Framework).
    • Response: No special headers defined.

    Status Codes and Responses

    • success: Request processed successfully.
    • failure: Request processed with errors; detailed error messages returned per SKU.

    The synchronous response includes an array of error messages linked to SKUs when failures occur.

    Practical Use

    ServiceNow customers can use this API to programmatically update supplier product pricing in bulk, ensuring contract pricing stays current. Proper SKU matching is crucial to avoid errors. Customers can monitor import status and troubleshoot via the Price Error and Outbound Status tables using the REST API.

    Typical integration involves sending a JSON payload with supplier, customer, catalog identifiers, and product pricing details. The API supports both real-time synchronous updates and asynchronous batch processing to suit different operational needs.

    Updates any pricing for supplier product records.

    When pricing is available for supplier product records, the API uses the product SKU to find an existing supplier product. If a matching supplier product exists, the corresponding contract price is updated. If no matching supplier product is found, an error message is generated, stating that the product for which you are trying to update pricing for does not exist.

    Status tables

    To know the status of the price import request, make a REST call into the ServiceNow database using the Table REST API. The response from the API lists the records where the price import request failed. For a price import response, query the Price Error table with the following parameter:

    sysparm_query=outbound_error.supplier_id=<supplier_id>^outbound_error.state=20

    You can find the details on the customer ID, supplier ID, error type, unique import set ID, and state can in the Outbound Status table, which is the parent error table.
