Retrieves the list of approvers for current company. It will return [] if it is an auto approval PO.

Filter By Department

You can filter approvers list with department by passing department_id query params.

Filtered By `Allow approvers to approve their own request`

If Company setting -> Purchase Order -> Allow approvers to approve their own request setting is enabled then approvers are allowed to approve their own purchase order therefore you will see logged in approver in the list of approvers. But if the setting is off, then approvers are not allowed to approve their own purchase order so the approvers list does not contains logged in approver on the list. In below screenshot You can see the setting is enabled.

This setting is Off by default and approvers are not allowed to approve their own request.

Returns a list of your tax rates.

HTTP Request

GET https://app.procurementexpress.com/api/v1/tax_rates

Tax rate type

We support two types of tax rates Single and Combined. All Tax rates are by default Single tax rates. But in some countries like Canada there are grouped/combined tax rates like GST/QST QC (14.975) which is a combination of 2 tax rates GST (5.0) and QST QC (9.975), in that case you can create a combined tax rate by setting Tax Type to Combined and by selecting all the Single tax rates that are applied to that combined tax rate. Go to ProcurementExpress.com -> Settings -> Company Setting -> Tax -> Create New Tax to create either Single or Combined tax rate.

What are webhooks

Webhooks are notifications about ProcurementExpress entities that are sent to your app. When any event specified on event_type query params occurs, a POST request is sent to the specified url. Webhooks notification configured here are triggered by events in your ProcurementExpress company.

When should I use webhooks

If you use API endpoints, then you will get response only when you call it. But there comes a scenario where you might like to know about the changes in realtime, for example, you want to listen to changes as soon as purchase order is created, approved, delivered or paid, then webhooks makes your life easier, because it send a POST request to your application, as soon as those event occurs in your ProcurementExpress company.

Supported events

Right now we support following webhooks events:

`new_po`

If new_po event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime new purchase order is created in your ProcurementExpress company, a webhooks request is notified. Purchase order status can be either Draft, Pending or Approved depending on your company setting for this event.

`po_approved`

When po_approved event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime a purchase order is approved in your ProcurementExpress company, a webhooks request is notified. Purchase order status will be Approved in this case. And also new unique approval_key for the Purchase Order will be generated by the system based on your approval key setting in the company setting.

`po_delivered`

When po_delivered event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime a purchase order is marked as completely delivered, a webhooks request is notified. Purchase order delivery_status will be complete_delivered meaning items are fully delivered for the purchase order, and also delivered_on field will be recorded with delivery date.

`po_paid`

When po_paid event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime a purchase order is marked as paid, a webhooks request is notified. Purchase order status will be paid.

`po_cancelled`

When po_cancelled event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime a purchase order is marked as cancelled, a webhooks request is notified.

`po_update`

When po_update event is enabled in webhooks configuration, then everytime a purchase order is updated in any state, a webhooks request is notified. And it will send the latest purchase order data in the payload.
