Set the expected delivery day

PUT /pos/{poId}/expected

Set the expected delivery day (expectedOn, YYYY-MM-DD), or clear it with null — what the dashboard's arriving and overdue deliveries are measured against.

The date is planning, not a change to the lines, so it never re-registers inventory's incoming expectations the way a line rewrite does. 409 PoNotEditable once received, invoiced, closed or cancelled. Appends purchasing.po-expected-changed. Idempotent by content: sending the date already set appends nothing.

Access

Requires purchasing:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by content: sending the date already set appends nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

purchasing.po-expected-changed

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: purchasing-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://purchasing.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`PoNotFound` poId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`PoNotEditable` poId, status	The purchase order cannot be edited in its state. `status` says which.	Read the purchase order.
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`502`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`InventoryUnavailable` reason	The inventory service did not answer, so nothing changed.	Send the same request again shortly.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
