Dears,

I would appreciate it if you share your experience to help me here.

now to create one sale invoice we are sending multiple API requests. one to create the header, second to create the lines, and maybe more if I would send request for each line . and even more requests if I am sending the work description field "its new custom field with really long length".

now, is it possible somehow to create one API with one URL sending one request? containing all this in one call. the idea is to merge multiple API in one.

maybe it does make so much sense. but I would like to know your opinion here.

and how to mitigate the risk of integration failure.

on the other side of the application, we are integrating with, we just created one table that logs all requests and the reply. we should run a batch to go through lines. it would check for the failed lines. then send the request again.

it sending and update the header, but not updating the lines.

I would check out this blog and part 2 of it as well: www.kauffmann.nl/.../

If you are sending data to one custom table and then letting the rest happen server side you should be able to progress.

Another idea that might be helpful can be seen here too: d365bcangle.wordpress.com/.../

You can have a page that accepts parameters and then pass all that detail to a codeunit to handle what you actually require from making the API call
