## Response fields

HTTP status `201 Created`.

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|-----|---------|
| `success` | boolean | `true` on successful creation |
| `data.id` | number | ID of the created item |
| `data.docId` | number | Document ID. Document — [`GET /v1/catalog-documents/:id`](/docs/entities/catalog-documents/get) |
| `data.elementId` | number | Product ID. Product — [`GET /v1/catalog-products/:id`](/docs/entities/catalog-products/get) |
| `data.amount` | number \| null | Product quantity. `null` if not passed |
| `data.purchasingPrice` | number \| null | Purchase price per unit. `null` if not passed |
| `data.storeFrom` | number \| null | Source warehouse. `null` if not passed. Warehouses — [`GET /v1/warehouses`](/docs/entities/warehouses/list) |
| `data.storeTo` | number \| null | Destination warehouse. `null` if not passed. Warehouses — [`GET /v1/warehouses`](/docs/entities/warehouses/list) |
| `meta.warnings` | array | Present only if the body contains a field that is not among the item fields. Each element has `code: "UNRECOGNIZED_WRITE_FIELD"`, `field` with the field name, and `message`. On a route that wraps the field map itself, an object under `fields` is rejected with `400 NESTED_FIELDS_ENVELOPE` when the schema does not declare `fields`; pass fields flat at the JSON root. |
