Seed Registration Endpoints
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POST | /v2/catalog/seeds/registration | Create a new seed registration with regulatory approval details |
| GET | /v2/catalog/seeds/registration/{id} | Get a specific seed registration by UUID |
| PUT | /v2/catalog/seeds/registration/{id} | Update an existing seed registration's status, dates, or registration number |
| DELETE | /v2/catalog/seeds/registration/{id} | Soft delete a seed registration by UUID |
| POST | /v2/catalog/seeds/registration/query | Advanced search for seed registrations with filtering and pagination |
Business Rules
Seed Association
Each seed registration must be associated with a valid seed:
- Registration must reference an existing seed ID
- A seed can have multiple registrations for different markets or purposes
- Registration lifecycle is independent of the seed lifecycle
Registration Status Lifecycle
Registrations follow a defined status lifecycle:
- Application - Initial application submitted to regulatory authority
- Registered - Registration approved and active
- Expired - Registration period has ended
- Rejected - Application denied by regulatory authority
- Surrendered - Registration voluntarily given up by holder
- Terminated - Registration ended by regulatory authority
- Withdrawn - Application withdrawn before approval
Date Management
Registration dates must follow logical constraints:
- Registration date should precede or equal the market extension date
- Expiration date defines the validity period of the registration
- All dates are optional to accommodate different registration stages
Registration Source
Registrations can originate from various regulatory authorities:
- CTPS/GEVES - French regulatory authority
- ARVALIS - French agricultural institute
- AHDB - Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (UK)
- GOV/UK - UK Government
- COBOROU/PL - Polish regulatory authority
- BUNDESSORTENAMT/DE - German Federal Plant Variety Office
- AGROSCOPE/CH - Swiss agricultural research center

Seed Registration Errors
| Code | Message | HTTP Status | When Triggered |

Typical Workflows
Basic Seed Registration Management
- Create Seed Registration - Submit new regulatory approval record with status, dates, and source authority
- Update Seed Registration - Modify registration properties such as status, dates, or registration number
- Retrieve Seed Registration - Get registration details including associated seed information
- List Seed Registrations - Query registrations by status, source, or date ranges
- Delete Seed Registration - Soft delete registrations no longer applicable
Status Tracking
- Application Monitoring - Track registrations in Application status awaiting approval
- Active Registrations - Monitor Registered status seeds available for market
- Expiration Management - Identify registrations approaching or past expiration date
- Status Transitions - Update registration status as it progresses through lifecycle
Search and Filtering
- Status-Based Search - Find all registrations by status (e.g., all Expired registrations)
- Source Filtering - Query registrations by regulatory authority
- Date Range Queries - Filter by expiration date range or market extension date range
- Seed Association - Retrieve all registrations for a specific seed product
