Master Data Management trigger update of Child Company through API

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mbazioss 72
Hi all, 
I have setup Master Data management to update child companies.
Now when a licensed user changes a record in master company , same record is populated in real time in child companies.(System does not have to wait for the Job Queue Entry to run)
 
I want to trigger above functionality also through rest api by api user who is setup under Microsoft Entra Application
Is it possible to trigger the above functionality also through rest api? 
 
Thanks in advance,

    Hello ,
     
    Yes, this is supported: if your REST API (Entra application user) updates records in the master company using standard BC APIs (POST/PATCH), the change goes through normal table triggers and Master Data Management will synchronize to child companies just like a UI user. The sync may appear real time, but it is still asynchronous—the API call won’t wait for child companies to finish updating. It will not work if updates bypass triggers (e.g., Modify(false), disabled triggers, or non-standard writes). Ensure the app user has the same permissions as a licensed user and monitor the MDM Sync Log for failures.

    This requires customization; hopefully, the following information will give you some hints.

    I tried following suggestion. "Ensure the app user has the same permissions as a licensed user and monitor the MDM Sync Log for failures."
    But microsoft entra user is not a real licensed user. 
    Is it possible to set a licensed user as microsoft entra user? 
     
    Thanks in advance,
