# Create Article

> Create a single article (synchronous), or bulk-import articles (asynchronous). For purchase articles, a supplier must be specified (via `supplierId` or `supplierName`). Sale articles are automatically linked to your company. Batch rows upsert idempotently on `internalArticleNr`. **Batch form (array, or `{"rows": […]}` envelope, max 5000 rows) is asynchronous:** it stages an import job and returns `202` with a `jobId` — poll `GET /api/import-jobs/{jobId}` for progress and the final result. A single object stays synchronous (`201`). See the Batch Import guide.
