I didn't find endpoint to create purchase orders in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central API doc (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/resources/dynamics_purchasereceipt). When I tried to create a purchase order receipt via postman I'm getting the below in response

"error": {

"code": "BadRequest_MethodNotAllowed",

"message": "Entity does not support insert. CorrelationId: 4dab4377-3e2c-4c58-81cb-1413207ad7c1."

}

Please let know if there a way to make this endpoint work.
Thank you!

Hi,

You can only get the Posted Purchase receipt.

You cannot insert data in that entity since it is posted document.

You can refer the below link for Purchase Order API in business central

docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics_purchaseorder

If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much

Hi, I checked all the standard APIs, as shown below, you can create purchaseReceipts and purchaseReceiptLines through API, but not from Purchase Order.

If you really need to create, you need a develop a new Custom API.

Creating and Interacting with an OData V4 Bound Action

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-creating-and-interacting-with-odatav4-bound-action

Or action in API

PS: API page type cannot be extended by creating a page extension object. Instead, you must create a new API by adding a page object.

More details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-api-pagetype

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

You need to round the receive bound action as described here if you are using the standard API

Hi,

If you want to post the purchase order via postman, you can create a custom web service for your codeunit and hit the procedure that calls the 'Purch.-Post' codeunit. You can also use that web service in your power automate http request to trigger the posting of the purchase order.

Regards
