Hi there,
I have created an API endpoint for posting a $batch on api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../$batch
When I call it with the payload below, the Journal Header and lines create with no issue, but the postBatch call always fails when its part of the $batch.
But when I call it in a separate $batch entirely it works and posts the Journal Batch (assuming no errors).
{ "requests": [ { "method": "POST", "id": "r1", "url": "journalBatches?companyName=CBP", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, "body": { "JournalTemplate": "GENERAL", "JournalBatchName": "QWERTY19", "Description": "Default Journal Batch", "CopyVAT": false } }, { "method": "POST", "id": "r2", "url": "journalLines?companyName=CBP", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, "body": { "JournalTemplate": "GENERAL", "LineNo": 1, "JournalBatchName": "QWERTY19", "PostingDate": "2023-04-13", "AccountType": "G/L Account", "AccountNo": "9100", "DocumentNo": "1", "ExternalDocumentNo": "5", "DocumentType": "Invoice", "Amount": 5, "Description": "Default Journal Batch", "Comment": "comment", "ShortcutDimension1Code": "115", "ShortcutDimension2Code": "210" } }, { "method": "POST", "id": "r3", "url": "journalLines?companyName=CBP", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, "body": { "JournalTemplate": "GENERAL", "LineNo": 2, "JournalBatchName": "QWERTY19", "PostingDate": "2023-04-13", "AccountType": "G/L Account", "AccountNo": "9100", "DocumentNo": "2", "ExternalDocumentNo": "6", "DocumentType": "Invoice", "Amount": -5, "Description": "Default Journal Batch", "Comment": "comment", "ShortcutDimension1Code": "115", "ShortcutDimension2Code": "210" } }, { "method": "POST", "id": "r4", "url": "journalBatches(JournalTemplate='GENERAL',JournalBatchName='QWERTY19')/Microsoft.NAV.postBatch?companyName=CBP", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" } } ] }
Below is the code response when I call the above in Postman
