Modify Item Inventory by REST-API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I want to update the inventory by Items REST-Api provided from Business Central.

Allthough my User has SUPER user (with blank company and with example comany CRONUS),

3362.permissions.png

I still lack permissions and get following error:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "Internal_ServerError",
        "message": "You do not have the following permissions on TableData Item Ledger Entry: Insert.\r\n\r\nTo view details about your permissions, see the Effective Permissions page. To report a problem, refer to the following server session ID: '55895'."
    }
}


So I guess its not possible by this Interface as long as this interface doesnt support it. Is there another possibility?

    You need to create a object with the permissions to create records in item ledger enties.

    But it is bad practice to create item ledger entry..

    A better way is using the item journal and posting throw there

    Thanks for letting me know theres a better way doing that by inserting items in item journal.

    However, my problem is not solved this way (since I want to do acccomplish this by the provided REST-Interfaces).

    According to docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics_journalline, you cant pass an item nor an quantity to that Interface.

    So I guess its not possible?

    You can create a codeunit with the required permission and with the parameter want/need, and publish it as a webservice.

    Then you can do this, but you need to do some development i NAV/BC.

    So it is possible, yes.

    Is it also possible without some Development in BC?

    Not to my knowledge.

    I do not think it ever will, because it not the correct way of handling data.

    Thanks! Well you talk about the item interface. But through the journal interface it would be allright you said?

    And in the future the journal lines interface might be extended and will be capable of doing that.

    Or it might be possible to post the sales order in future, which would achieve the same.

    For future persons end up here. Its possible without additional development.

    1. Create Sales Invoice (POST /businesscentral/companies({id})/salesInvoices)
    2. Create Sales Invoice Line (POST /businesscentral/companies({id})/salesInvoices({id})/salesInvoiceLines)
    3. Post Sales Invoice by Using action (POST /businesscentral/companies({id})/salesInvoices/Microsoft.NAV.post)

    The last step updates/books the item.

    I found this action by looking at the metadata document found at
