Integration with Dynamic 365 Finance and operation with ODATA

Posted on by Community member 72
Hello,
 
I am just a beginner and try to develop an app for one of the customers with F&O and I can see there is a ODATA REST API through that I can create a sale order on their F&O account.
 
So, before I move forward for development I just wanted to confirm and make sure that ODATA URLs are always customized? right?
 
for ex. https://abc.operations.dynamics.com/data/Customers is the ODATA URL to get a list of customers so this URL entity name /Customers/ always different with other F&O accounts?

    Hello Martin,
     
    If I combine all 3 responses then I get an overview that there are some common ODATA entities that by default come from Microsoft but after that, it depends on the customer whether they want to go with the default one or they need customization for their business so depend on that they will create a new customize entity with a different name and will add more objects on it.
     
    So thank you so much to all for the responses and it's really appreciated.
     
    Currently I am unable to undo my action like I tried but it's loading for a long time and nothing change so I will undo it later once possible.

    Ruchita, you've marked Kevin's answer as the verified one, but unfortunately it's wrong.
    The URL is incorrect, because you must use the public collection name (such as Customers), and the reply ignores the fact that there are multiple entities for the same purpose. For example, using "Customers" would be a bug, because the entity is obsolete and will be removed at some point. You need to take that into account when designing your solution. Don't believe his statement that the same entity will always be used to get a list of customers.

    Hi,
    The OData URLs used to interact with F&O are typically not customized and follow a standardized pattern based on the entity and data model of F&O. The base OData URL for F&O instances is usually structured as follows: https://<your-environment-name>.operations.dynamics.com/data/<entity-name>, where <your-environment-name> is specific to your F&O environment and <entity-name> corresponds to the entities available in F&O's data model.
    For example, to retrieve a list of customers, the OData URL will follow this pattern: https://<your-environment-name>.operations.dynamics.com/data/Customer. This means that the entity name /Customer will remain consistent across different F&O accounts.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    They will have the same code from Microsoft, including the value of Public Collection Name property. Therefore if they use the same entity, the name will be the same.
    But note that they could use a different entity (e.g. CustomersV3/CustCustomerV3Entity, because Customers/CustCustomerEntity is already obsolete) or create a custom entity.

    Ok, so this <public collection name> will be always same for all the F&O account?
     
    I mean in the future, if another customer come then entity name will be the same only front URL will be change like https://xyz.operations.dynamics.com/data/Customers

    The URL :  URL /data/<public collection name>
     
    URL : D365 FO  Environment URL
    <public collection name>: the name of the data entity that you will consume from API
     
     If you want to use the Customers data entity then yes it will be : URL/Data/Customers
