Hello everyone, i would like to know how can i "press" the action buttons in BC Pages? I need to Register the Items that have been picked using AL Code, it's needed because i'm creating a Power Apps Inventory management and picking tool.
There's a lack of documentation on the internet, though i've tried something reading the source code but i've had no luck unfortunately.
How can i verify and register the items picked in the page Warehouse Pick (5779) through AL Code?

Invoking actions through AL in an API Page

Thanks for the answers.

In Power Apps, it's possible to use the Business Central Connector to communicate with API Pages and also trigger a procedure inside a API Page, that's not an issue. The issue is, to register the picks using AL Code through a procedure. Because of lacking documentation i don't know which codeunit to use if there's any that i can trigger to register all picks.
Is there a codeunit i can Run to register all picks?

Not all standard buttons can be done in Power Apps. In the standard code, another page is opened to pick the items, which is not possible in Power Apps because there is no such page.

You need to create a new page in Power Apps, open it using the same filtering criteria, and then refer to the code for picking items to add some logic to the new page.

I'm sorry I haven't actually done this either, but I hope I can give you some advice.

Thanks

The problem with that is, that it's an API Page not a visible Page. The picks need to be registered when i'm calling it through OData functions using Postman or Power Apps, that's why i need to know if there's a codeunit already that i can use to register the lines or i need to implement it myself somehow.
