Create a supplier

Products reference suppliers by ID, so an integration syncing its own supplier list calls this before its first product write. Only name is required; the contact fields are for whoever places the order.

Names are unique on a tenant, so creating one that already exists returns 409 supplier_name_taken rather than a duplicate. That makes this endpoint safe to call on every sync if you treat that code as “already have it”, though holding onto the returned supplierId is cheaper.

Errors

422 supplier_name_required — no name, or a blank one.
409 supplier_name_taken — another supplier on the tenant already has that name.

Requires the suppliers:write scope.
