Updated the POST /commands/v4/inventoryunits endpoint to allow external systems to create new Inventory Unit picklist entries, eliminating the need for manual setup in CareTend. The endpoint validates that Name is required, unique, and within length limits, IsActive is required, the X12 Unit Code is provided from the list of valid codes when supplied, and prevents duplicates for business-critical values while leaving other fields (such as Description) optional. On success, the endpoint returns the newly created Inventory Unit record, including its key attributes so clients can confirm and align values between CareTend and their source systems.

HCSI-5248

Updated the PATCH /commands/v4/inventoryunits endpoint so external systems can update existing Inventory Unit picklist entries (non‑system records only) instead of requiring manual changes in CareTend. The endpoint requires a valid Inventory Unit ID and at least one updatable field (Name, X12UnitCodeId, or IsActive), enforces that system records (IDs < 500001) cannot be modified, validates Name for uniqueness and length, validates X12UnitCodeId against allowed values when provided, treats unspecified fields as unchanged, and does not allow Description to be updated. On success, the endpoint returns the updated Inventory Unit record, including its key values (such as ID, Name, X12 Unit Code, and Active status) so client systems can verify that the change was applied correctly.

HCSI-5249

Updated the DELETE /commands/v4/inventoryunits endpoint so external systems can soft-delete Inventory Unit picklist entries, eliminating the need to manually remove them in CareTend. The endpoint requires that either Id or Name be provided (optionally both, but they must reference the same record), enforces that only non-system records (IDs ≥ 500001) can be deleted, and returns appropriate errors if inputs are missing, inconsistent, or refer to protected system entries. On success, the endpoint performs a soft delete (sets the record to inactive) and returns a confirmation message including key details of the deleted Inventory Unit so clients can verify the correct entry was removed.

HCSI-5250

Updated the GET /commands/v4/inventoryunits endpoint to let external systems retrieve Inventory Unit picklist data directly from CareTend, reducing manual re-entry and helping keep inventory data in sync across systems. The endpoint accepts optional Id or Name filters (but not both together), returns all Inventory Units when no filter is provided, uses case-insensitive matching on Name, only returns active records, and returns standard validation errors when inputs are missing, conflicting, or invalid. On success, the response includes each matching Inventory Unit’s Id, Name, Description, X12 Unit Code, Active indicator, record status, record status date, and record status modified-by so client systems have full, reliable detail for downstream use.

HCSI-5251

Updated the POST /commands/v4/manufacturers endpoint in the v4 CareTend API so external systems (such as Intermountain’s) can create new Manufacturer picklist entries and keep the CareTend manufacturer list synchronized across systems. The endpoint requires Name and Active indicator, accepts an optional Description, and validates inputs for required fields, data types, and business rules, returning clear error messages when data is missing or invalid. On success, the API returns the newly created manufacturer record (including its identifier, name, description, and active status) so clients can confirm the entry and align it with their source system.

HCSI-5253

Updated the DELETE /commands/v4/manufacturers v4 endpoint so external systems (such as Intermountain’s) can remove entries from the CareTend manufacturer picklist and keep the list synchronized across systems. The endpoint accepts Name, Id, or both as input, validates that at least one is provided and that when both are passed they reference the same record, and returns clear validation errors when inputs are missing or inconsistent. On successful deletion, the API returns a confirmation response with key details of the affected manufacturer so clients can verify that the correct entry was removed in CareTend.
