Purchasing Manager API · pos
A page of purchase orders from the current read model
GET /pos
A page of purchase orders from the current read model: q narrows by reference or supplier (case-insensitive substring), status to a comma-separated set of statuses, supplierId to the orders placed with one CRM company (GET /pos?supplierId=cmp_…, an exact match), ids to exactly those po_ ids (comma-separated, up to 200 — how a screen holding ids shows their numbers), sort/order pick the column and direction (default: newest first).
total counts every match regardless of the page; limit defaults to 100 and is capped at 1000 (an over-cap request is clamped, not honoured); page with offset.
Access
Requires purchasing:read or receiving:read.
Any one of these scopes is enough.
How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.
AI agent tool
Agents call this as purchasing_list_pos (Purchasing: List POs), in the purchasing toolset. It only reads.
Connecting an agent: AI agents.

}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.
