ERP - API Endpoints/Data Access/ERP Integration with other systems

Posted on by NB-04031849-0

Hi Team,

As a part of the QMS to ERP integration - Bi-directional, we would like to know all the API End points available for pulling the required fields.
Issue we are facing is what's offered at the API level, vs. the data we would like to pull/transact.

For example, Quality Holds (Transact) needs an API to retrieve current inventory and hold quantities, as well as to process hold transactions against the quality hold ledger. No native API appears to be available for this functionality.

Need help to achieve this.

Thanks,

Nalini.

Which ERP do you mean? The D365 brand covers several ERPs.

Hello Nalini,

BC only exposes what’s in standard API v2.0 (customers, items, orders, journals, ledger entries, etc.) and anything outside that—like your Quality Holds ledger/transactions—won’t have a “native endpoint” unless you install an app that ships its own APIs. The practical way to bridge the gap is: use the v2.0 API reference / OpenAPI to confirm what’s available, use webhookSupportedResources to list the standard entity names you can subscribe to, and then build a small custom API (API pages/queries for “hold/available quantities” + an API action/codeunit for “place hold / release hold”) because Microsoft doesn’t let you extend the built-in APIs with extra fields/logic—custom APIs are the supported pattern for integrations when the standard entities don’t match your data model.

If you are looking out for standard API methods and what APIs are available, then refer this URL: API (v2.0) for Dynamics 365 Business Central - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Assuming you are not yourself a developer (and even if you are but want a cost effective way to create API's) then Hougaard Simple Object Designer is by far the most cost-effective way to quickly create API's.

Disclaimer, I have no affiliation to Hougaard but the MS partner I work for is a licensed re-seller. I am a data consumer who needs extensive access to data for reporting and cannot be expected to use VS Code or request development simply to publish a table. Simple Object Designer solves this.
