# Mark a purchase order as ordered

> Transitions the purchase order to status "ordered" and sends the order notification email to the vendor. On success the response data is the confirmation string "Email has been sent" (type "Email"), not the updated purchase order.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/partners.json patch /v1/partners/inventory/purchase_orders/{id}/ordered
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: OpenWrench Internal Teams API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    External partners API for OpenWrench supplier inventory: purchase requests,
    purchase orders, receipts, parts, equipment types, vendors, stock locations,
    per-stock-location inventory, and work order part/equipment usage.


    ## Authentication

    Every request must include an API key in the `X-API-KEY` header. Requests
    with a missing or invalid key receive `401 Unauthorized`. All data is scoped
    to the supplier company/facility of the contact the API key belongs to.


    ## Rate limiting

    Each API key is limited to 10 requests per 20-second window. Requests beyond
    that receive `429 Too Many Requests`.


    ## Response envelope

    Single-entity responses are wrapped as `{ "type": "<EntityName>", "data": {
    ... }, "status": "ok" }`. List responses are wrapped as `{ "type":
    "<EntityName>", "data": [ ... ], "count": <total>, "status": "ok" }` where
    `count` is the total number of matching records. Count endpoints return `{
    "type": "Count", "data": <integer>, "status": "ok" }`. Errors are returned
    as `{ "message": "...", "type": "<ExceptionType>", "status": "error",
    "traceId": "..." }` with HTTP status 400 (bad input), 401 (missing/invalid
    key), 404 (not found), or 429 (rate limited).


    ## Pagination and filtering

    List endpoints accept `offset`, `limit` (default 10, max 25), `sort_by`, and
    `order` (`asc`|`desc`) query parameters. Any other query parameter is passed
    through as an equality filter on the corresponding entity column.


    ## Date formats

    Date-time fields serialize as strings in one of two shapes depending on the
    underlying type: ISO 8601 with offset (e.g. `2026-08-14T13:05:22.000-07:00`)
    for most timestamps, or `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S` (space-separated, no offset)
    for database timestamp fields. Plain dates are `yyyy-MM-dd`. When sending
    date-times, ISO 8601 is accepted.


    ## API keys

    These endpoints require a **partner API key**, which is separate from buyer
    and supplier API keys. A buyer API key will not authenticate against
    `/v1/partners/` endpoints. Contact support@useopenwrench.com to have a
    partner key issued.


    ## Required headers

    Every request must carry BOTH `X-API-KEY` (your API key) and `OW-KEY` (the
    OpenWrench shared secret issued with it). Requests missing either return
    401.
