Posted on by Purav Gosai

I am trying to use receiveandinvoice bound action for purchase order. The series of action I am trying to perform here using API is as follow.

Step 1: Get the details of purchase order.

Step 2: Update purchase order lines to set qty. to receive and invoice to some value less than total quantity and for the remaining quantity I will be creating one more invoice.

Step 3: Update Vendor invoice number to some Invoice Number.

Step 4: Call receiveandinvoice on that purchase order so that it creates posted purchase invoice with the vendor invoice number that I have updated.

Challenge here is that I am not able to find any way of updating vendor invoice number in purchase order using it's patch request.

Can anyone help me out to identify way using which i can update vendor invoice number? Because I need take vendor invoice number from users to create posted purchase invoice using that number itself and also change it for the second invoice if I am only receiving partial quantity of total quantity for purchase order.

Also suggest if I am going in wrong direction.

Hi, About the Patch method:

https://yzhums.com/6117/#toc16

And since standard APIs cannot be extended. If there is no vendor invoice number field in the standard APIs, you need to customize one, or use Odata.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

Hello,

The property has not been exposed on purchaseOrder while it is exposed on purchaseInvoice.

docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-develop-custom-api

Hope it helps.

Thank you.

No I am not getting any kind of error with the patch request but I am not able to find the property that I want to update. Please find below image for reference that show the property that I want to update.

I am not even able to get this property while retrieving the purchase order details. So, it is difficult to identity how to update that property using patch call.

Hello,

Are you receiving an error with this? It is not that difficult to perform a patch operation via for example Postman while testing, but the format may be challenging:

Hope it helps already.

Thanks.
