Summary

Creates a new equipment item in Rentman by sending the chosen Additional Fields as the JSON body of a create request to the equipment endpoint.

Inputs

  • Additional Fields — Collection of optional fields sent in the request body. Only fields you add are sent. Options: Name, Code, Unit, Type (normal/set/consumable), Is Physical (Physical equipment/Virtual package), Is Combination, Rental / Sales (Rental/Sale), Price (default rental price per period), List Price, Critical Stock Level, Stock Management (Track stock/Exclude from stock tracking), Strict Container Content (Unrestricted/Strict), In Planner, In Shop, Internal Remark (shown on packing lists), External Remark (shown on financial documents). Linked records are given as API paths: Folder (/folders/0), Factor Group (/factorgroups/0), Image (/files/0), Ledger (/ledgercodes/0), Tax Class (/taxclasses/0).
  • Request Options — Node-level HTTP settings: batching (items per batch, default 50; interval between batches, default 1000 ms), ignore SSL certificate issues, proxy URL, and timeout (default 10000 ms).

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the equipment record returned by the Rentman API for the newly created equipment.

The source pack contains only stubs, so the exact response shape is not visible. The fields are routed declaratively in the request body. The Additional Fields collection is shared with the Update operation. Rentman's own required-field validation (for example, a name) is not enforced by the node, so the API may reject a request that lacks the fields it needs.

Examples

Example 1: Add a new rental light fixture to the catalog

Additional Fields: Name = 'LED Par 64', Code = 'LED-064', Type = normal, Rental / Sales = Rental, Price = 15, Stock Management = Track stock, In Planner = true.

Example 2: Create a sellable consumable placed in a folder with tax class

Additional Fields: Name = 'Gaffer Tape', Type = consumable, Rental / Sales = Sale, List Price = 12.5, Folder = /folders/12, Taxclass = /taxclasses/1, In Shop = true.
