Hi to everyone,
I’m trying to get the vendor.name and vendor.email for a purchase order, but those fields are comming empty (in fact, null), next is the query (and the response we’re getting from API):
query{
purchase\_order (id:“xxxxxxx”){
data{
id,
po\_number,
po\_date,
account\_id,
vendor\_id,
created\_at,
fulfillment\_status,
po\_note,
description,
subtotal,
shipping\_price,
vendor{
name,
legacy\_id,
email
},
total\_price,
line\_items(first: 2) {
edges {
node {
id,
legacy\_id,
po\_id,
account\_id,
warehouse\_id,
vendor\_id,
po\_number,
sku,
barcode,
note,
quantity,
quantity\_received,
quantity\_rejected,
product\_name,
}
}
}
}
}
}
Response (just a portion of it):
{
“data”: {
“purchase\_order”: {
“data”: {
“id”: “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=”,
“po\_number”: “2010-01 Stars Spats”,
“po\_date”: “2010-10-20T00:00:00+00:00”,
“account\_id”: “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”,
“vendor\_id”: “VmVuZG9yOjA=”,
“created\_at”: “2020-10-02T14:35:42+00:00”,
“fulfillment\_status”: “pending”,
“po\_note”: null,
“description”: null,
“subtotal”: “825”,
“shipping\_price”: “825”,
“vendor”: {
“name”: null,
“legacy\_id”: 0,
“email”: null
},
what is it wrong?

Hi @maomuriel!
Do you happen to have the request\_id for that response?
That way I can check the account and PO and see if there is anything there.
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Thanks for that @maomuriel!
I see what you mean now. I already engaged an engineer to ask about this and I will provide an update as soon as I get a response from them.
Thanks for the patience while we look into it!

Hi @maomuriel!
A fix for this has been implemented. Now you can see the vendor name and ID at a line item level by using:
```
query {
purchase_order(id: "XXXXXXX") {
request_id
complexity
data {
line_items(first: 100) {
edges {
node {
id
legacy_id
vendor {
id
name
}
vendor_id
sku
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Thanks again for the patience while we work on this!
Please let me know if there is anything else I could help you with
Tom

Hi @tomasw , after some years, it is happening again, we’re getting vendor field empty, no email, no name.
In fact, we’re quering the vendors operation getting error: 22 response constantly. Do you know what is happening with vendors operations?

Hey @maomuriel,
Thanks for reaching out!
There was an issue with the vendors query briefly last week, a fix has since been rolled out.
Please let me know if you’re still experiencing any issues.
Best,

Hi @sh-agent Thank you for reply.
No, we aren’t still experiencing issues, right now (and last days) the API es running flawless for vendor’s queries.
Thank you again.
