Batch Post Using Custom API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hi All,
I am currently trying to implement a batch post for Sales Lines in Business Central. I created a custom Sales Lines Api, when I try to post I get the error ‘'POST' requests for 'companies' of EdmType 'Entity' are not allowed within Dynamics 365 Business Central OData web services.’. If I try to add ‘ODataEDMType = 'SalesLine';’ to the ‘SystemId’ field in the API then all my other custom APIs stop working, and I get the error ‘BadRequest_NotSupported’. Note, that the other APIs are not calling the same table (the Sales Line table) and they are all GET requests.
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
This is the endpoint being used 'https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/<tenant_id>/<environment_name>/api/<publisher>/Automation/v2.0/companies(<company_id>)/?batch'
 
and this is an example of the JSON
'{
/requests/: [
{
/id/: /r1/,
/method/: /POST/,
/url/: /salesHeaders(<sales_header_id>)/salesLines/,
/headers/: {
/Content-Type/: /application/json/
},
/body/: {
/quantity/: 1.0,
/unitPrice/: 4.11,
/discountPercent/: 10.0,
/description/: //,
/itemNumber/: /ITM-000001/,
/lineType/: /Item/,
/lineNumber/: 1,
/documentType/: /Order/,
/locationCode/: /WEST/,
/unitOfMeasure/: /PACK/
}
},
{
/id/: /r2/,
/method/: /POST/,
/url/: /salesHeaders(<sales_header_id>)/salesLines/,
/headers/: {
/Content-Type/: /application/json/
},
/body/: {
/quantity/: 1.0,
/unitPrice/: 4.11,
/discountPercent/: 10.0,
/description/: //,
/itemNumber/: /ITM-000002/,
/lineType/: /Item/,
/lineNumber/: 2,
/documentType/: /Order/,
/locationCode/: /WEST/,
/unitOfMeasure/: /PACK/
}
}
]
}'

    Maybe you can try to share the code for the custom API that you are using? That will make it easier to assist you.
