Hello Team,Could you clarify does Microsoft GP returns custom fields via API?I mean receiving custom fields for Customers and Invoices via API.
Andrew With GP Power Tools you can create a web service to return any data you want. Microsoft will not be changing any functionality in the old SOAP web services.
Yes, you can return custom fields by creating custom web services by using Microsoft Dynamics GP Web service.
Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect is the layer in the service architecture that
retrieves, creates, updates, and deletes data. You need to
add the eConnect support that the Dynamics GP Service framework needs for a
new type of document.
Go through chapter number 26 in web services manual and you will get all the details. It has complete example for Lead Sample project.

Look at the training materials for Developer Toolkit on my training page. It has info that might help you extend a web service.

You are welcome @David :)

Did you install Web Services using the installer in the \Tools\SDK\Web Services folder on the DVD image?
That should have the manual for web services and Almas mentioned that there an example there

hi,
the issue is not with Web Service. i need to know how i can read/write from/to a local custom field i added using the GP Modifier on a selected form (e.g. added a custom field for "customer nickname" on "Payable transaction Entry" form)
To read and write a local modifier added field you will need to use some custom code.
The code can be written using Visual Basic for Application (which is end of life now), or Visual Studio Tools which is quite a lot of work. or GP Power Tools which is what I would recommend.
