Method and URI	POST https://developer.api.autodesk.com/cost/v1/containers/:containerId/contracts
Authentication Context	user context required
Required OAuth Scopes	`data:write`
Data Format	JSON

Request

Headers

Authorization* string	Must be `Bearer <token>`, where `<token>` is obtained via a three-legged OAuth flow.
Content-Type* string	Must be `application/json`
region string	The region where the project data resides, to which this request is routed. This header is optional because the request is automatically routed to a target region based on the project ID or container ID. Using the header, though, can save lookup time on each API call. For information about verifying the region the data resides in, see the Working with BIM 360 Services in Different Regions section on the API Basics page. Possible values: `EMEA`, `US`. For the full list of supported regions, see the Regions page.

In other cases, subStatus is always `null`. Possible values: `null`, `pending`, `submitted`, `revise`. Default value: `null`.
currency string	The code of the currency specified for the contract if it’s awarded in a foreign currency.
exchangeRate number,string,null	The final exchange rate for the specified `currency`, applied as a multiplier of the contract’s base currency. For example, 1 base currency = 0.7455 foreign currency.

For more details, see Integrate with External System tutorial. Possible values: `locked`: the item is currently locked within the ERP system, preventing modifications until unlocked. To unlock and modify the item, use the relevant PATCH endpoint to set `integrationState` to `null`. For example, for a budget, call PATCH budgets. For a contract, call PATCH contracts. For more details, see the Help documentation. `integrated`: the item has been successfully added to the ERP system. `failed`: the item encountered an error during the integration process and was not successfully added to the ERP system. For example, if a user tries to integrate `contracts` from an ERP system and the updates fail, the `integrationState` can be set to `failed`. Retry the sync process or analyze the issue if it continues to fail. `null`: The item has not been integrated with the ERP system. This is default value. For more information regarding integrations within the Cost Management system, see Integrations in Cost Management.
