OTM REST PATCH – Can POST payload be reused to update Location address

edited Feb 2, 2026 4:23PM in Transportation Management 5 comments

Summary:

We are using the OTM REST API (JSON) to create a Location via a transmission POST locations. After the Location is created, We want to update the address using PATCH on the same Location.

Question:
Can we use the same request body that is used for POST and simply:

  • change the transaction to:
  • "httpMethod": "PATCH"
  • "resourceUrl": "locations/ABC.JSON_5_CUS-1234-5678"
  • change only the address fields
    …while keeping the rest of the payload unchanged?

In other words, will OTM accept a PATCH payload that still contains all the create-time fields like locationGid, locationXid, domainName, roleProfiles, refnums, etc., as long as we only intend to update the address?
