Use this endpoint to create a custom material in your PIC material library. Custom materials let you model Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply chain processes by specifying base materials, life cycle stages, and facility-level environmental data.

Request body params

Field NameData TypeDescription
namestring[REQUIRED] The name for your custom material.
codestringOptional material code.
categorystringOptional material category.
supplierstringOptional supplier name.
supplierCountrystringOptional supplier country.
countrystringOptional country of origin.
cycleProcessArray<CycleProcess>[REQUIRED] Life cycle processes for this material (stages P002–P006).
cycleProcess[].lifeCyclestring[REQUIRED] The life cycle stage ID (e.g., "P002" for Yarn Formation, "P003" for Fabric Formation).
cycleProcess[].countrystringCountry value for this process stage. Use Get Country List for valid values. Required if facilityWorldlyId is not provided.
cycleProcess[].facilityWorldlyIdstringWorldly facility ID for facility-specific data. Use Get Facilities to find available facilities.
baseMaterialsArray<BaseMaterial>[REQUIRED] The base materials that compose this custom material.
baseMaterials[].idstring[REQUIRED] The base material ID. Use Get Base Materials to find IDs.
baseMaterials[].compositionnumber[REQUIRED] The percentage composition (all base materials must sum to 100%).
baseMaterials[].sustainabilitystring | nullOptional sustainability certification for this base material (e.g., "recycled", "organic"). May be null.

​
Implementation Details

  • Composition validation: Base material compositions must sum to exactly 100%. This is a server-enforced constraint not expressed in the OpenAPI schema.
  • Life cycle stages: Valid life cycle IDs are P002 through P006. Each life cycle stage must be unique within a material. These are server-enforced constraints.
  • Location requirement: Each life cycle process requires either a country or a facilityWorldlyId — at least one must be provided (server-enforced).
  • Sustainability values: If provided, sustainability is a free-form string label (e.g., "recycled", "organic"). It is optional and may be null.
