Hi there community,
I am trying to make a simple post request to the items api endpoint of my company in Business Central 365. I have used Postman to get started. When making the request, I get an error about not having the correct permissions.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to change my permissions so that I can add new stock?
try to remove field "Inventory" : 100 from your procedure, then you should be able to import item master data.
I see what you are saying. Maybe I should not have used the term inventory/stock then. I am trying to add new items as master data - as in importing completely new items (for example: from another external system). Is this possible with the "items" endpoint? If so, why the permission error? And how can I change the permission?
Yes, when we speak about the item as master data you can create an item and that is fine. But you want to insert in field Inventory which is lookup on remaining quantity from item ledger entry because field inventory indicates how much (quantity) of the item you have on stock.
Sorry, I am a bit confused.
Why would you not be able to create an item with a POST call to the /items endpoint? Please see the documentation here: docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics_create_item
You are not able to insert into item ledger entry table by default. I would always suggest to insert into item journal line, and then trigger the posting of item journal line to create stock for that item (item ledger entries).
And via the API?
hi,
to add stock for certain item you need to fill item journal line (table 83) and then post item journal.
Br,
Renato.
