Hi,
I'm trying to create new customer via BC api v2, but examples available in documentation contains id and name values which I would like to be set automatically - generated GUID and next available customer number like C00020. Acording to documentation I need to POST JSON body like this:
Share
Report{
"id": "f2a5738a-44e3-ea11-bb43-000d3a2feca1",
"number": "10000",
"displayName": "Adatum Corporation",
"type": "Company",
"addressLine1": "192 Market Square",
"addressLine2": "",
"city": "Atlanta",
"state": "GA",
"country": "US",
"postalCode": "31772",
"phoneNumber": "",
"email": "robert.townes@contoso.com",
"website": "",
"taxLiable": true,
"taxAreaId": "90196a90-44e3-ea11-bb43-000d3a2feca1",
"taxAreaDisplayName": "ATLANTA, GA",
"taxRegistrationNumber": "",
"currencyId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
"currencyCode": "USD",
"paymentTermsId": "04a5738a-44e3-ea11-bb43-000d3a2feca1",
"shipmentMethodId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
"paymentMethodId": "3b196a90-44e3-ea11-bb43-000d3a2feca1",
"blocked": " ",
"lastModifiedDateTime": "2020-08-21T07:38:44.293Z"
}
How to get id for new customer and 'next available' customer number?
When I omit id and number in request body I get "Invalid Request Body" error :/
Thanks, Josh, for the helpful tip! Although I couldn't find an explicit option to select "No. Series"or UUID/Guid Generator for the Configuration template, I discovered that the issue actually resided in the JSON request body.
Hi, If you set the default No. Series for the Customer in BC, as long as you omit these two fields, the system will automatically generate it.
For example,
[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/758/Test0711.mp4:1181:885]
Thanks.

Thank you Josh for the tip! I couldn't find an option to choose No. Series for Configuration template but figured out that the problem was in json request body itself.
I think example request body available here:
docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics_customer_create
is not correct. I had to remove from request body "taxAreaDisplayName" and "lastModifiedDateTime" fields and I finally get "201 Created" response :) Of course I omitted "id" and "name" and that fields was generated automatically.
