OData REST API Patch issue

Hi,

I'm having an issue patching a customers address through Odata in D365 F&O.

All of the below is done through Postman. All with system administrator rights.

I have created an address for a customer using the PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2 entity with no issue.

I get a 200 status code from D365 and everything looks correct.

Later, when I try to patch the same address I do as follows:

1) Use the sam entity to GET the LocationId, ValidFrom and PartyNumber from the address

2) Make the patch call with the changes in the body. Values are dummy data, but format and datatypes are the same. Values all come from the previous GET call

- URL PATCH: <dynamicsUrl>/data/PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2(PartyNumber='1234',LocationId='000005001',ValidFrom=2024-03-20T12:00:00Z)?cross-company=true

- body: {/Street/: /New Street 1/}

And I then get this from D365:

{

/Message/: /No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI '<dynamicsUrl>/data/PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2(PartyNumber='1234',LocationId='000005001',ValidFrom=2024-03-20T12:00:00Z)?cross-company=true'. No route data was found for this request./

}

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi,

You don't add the Legal Entity to (PartyNumber='1234',LocationId='000005001',ValidFrom=2024-03-20T12:00:00Z), The Legal entity is part of the entity Key. Try it.

Thanks,

Adding the "LegalEntity" as part of the parameters does only change how the error response is formatted. Now it looks like this:

To my understanding the PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2 is a global entity. I see that there is a LegalEntity field but it is not used. When I got to the "excel workbook designer" inside of D365F&O I do not see the LegalEntity as part of the key.

The solution has been found

It's required to use "PartyLocationPostalAddressesV2" when patching records in the "PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2" entity.

So with this call:

- URL POST: <dynamicsUrl>/data/PartyLocationPostalAddressesSalesTaxGroupV2

- body: {<address fields>}

the address is created.

But when I want to patch the same address I need to do this

- URL PATCH: <dynamicsUrl>/data/PartyLocationPostalAddressesV2(PartyNumber='1234',LocationId='000005001',ValidFrom=2024-03-20T12:00:00Z)?cross-company=true

- body: {/Street/: /New Street 1/}

I haven't seen this documented any where so the solution were found by bright heads brute forcing a lot of different calls.
