Business Central API salesInvoices issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Abdullah Khalid 134

Hi everyone,

I'm new in field of API in business central. 

Scenerio:- I'm using standard API of business central "salesInvoices" 

GET Call = https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/(my tenant id)/(my sandbox)/api/v2.0/companies(my company id)/salesInvoices

It returns me all Posted and non-Posted Sales Invoices, BUT

there is a field with name "Status", it tells us the status of invoice

my question is how can we differentiate between Posted and non-Posted sales Invoice because Open status can be for both Posted and non-Posted invoices? 

Thanks for your consideration

    Yes YUN ZHU thanks for your reply, and yes Custom API is only solution for this scenario

    I created custom API of Standard Table "Sales Invoice Entity Aggregate"  and there is a field "isPosted" I added that field in my custom API page so we can use it to differentiate between Posted and Non-Posted  invoice of Status "OPEN".

    Hi, Daniele, the IsPosted field does not exist for this standard API. I hope you can make sure when answering the question.

    Hi, Abdullah. I think you have investigated, this standard API, the source table is "Sales Invoice Entity Aggregate". It contains not only "Sales Header" but also "Sales Invoice Header". And as far as I know, we can't use the Status field to distinguish them.

    The only way I can think of so far is to filter by "number", but that's not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. So I suggest that you customize your own API would be better.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    I can't see that boolean field in my response.

    Can you please tell me little bit more about that?

    hi

    Regarding your scenario, you are correct that the "Status" field alone cannot be used to differentiate between posted and non-posted invoices, as both posted and non-posted invoices can have an "Open" status.

    However, the API provides other fields that can be used to identify whether an invoice is posted or not. One such field is the "IsPosted" field, which is a Boolean field that indicates whether an invoice has been posted or not. You can use this field to filter and retrieve only posted or non-posted invoices.

    To answer your question, it is not necessary to have separate entities for posted and non-posted invoices, as the API provides fields that allow you to distinguish between them. Instead, you can filter and retrieve only the invoices that meet your criteria using the available fields.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
