    Yes, you can create several actions. It the same as a single action, you'll just create a few more. That's just a simple fact; I'm not sure what kind of reference you want for it.

    Thanks Anthony for quick response,
     
    Sure I will
     
    Only one question 
     
    Can we have multiple methods in custom data entity (Odata) and to call in single power automate? 

    If yes, kindly provide me some reference pls.
     
    Like for example - 
    Creating Product receipt
    Posting Product receipt
     
     
     
    thanks in advance!

    Yes you should be able to run that an OData action from power automate, if your posting code is in there it will run. Give it a go and if you have any issues create a forum post, I'm sure someone will be able to help.

    Thank Anthony and Layan
     
    as posted "OData actions are runnable code, so imagine you had some business logic attached to the data entity which you needed to run, or some data you needed to retrieve which was not a simple query it required some X++ code".
     
    for example - point no 1 - I have business logic to Post Product Receipt in the custom data entity (Odata). 
     
    point no 2 - In the next part. power automate , what it will do with the" Post Product Receipt"(Point no 1).  
     
    When Power automate get triggered, it will post the product recipt and send the notification to External system.

    basically use of power autoamte is here to send the notification ( once product receipt posted) to the external system only and rest of the things (business logic execuation) happend in d365fo based on the configuration on Power auomate.
     
    am I correct?
     
    Kindly verify plz.

    Hi,
     
    In the article below, it shows an example of how to add an action on OData entities. The second link seems to answer your second question about calling the action (method) Power Automate.
