create a Custom API to update Sales Order Status

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by SG-05091051-0 163
Hi All,

We are using On-Prem Business central.

I want to create a custom API to update status of my sales order header.
I will send below JSON as request body.

{
  "OrderNo" : "10001",
  "Status" : "Open"
}

This API should update the Sales header status of 10001 No.
If anyone have any idea, please share or if you have any code snip you can share.

Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    You can use the following link for API authentication:
     
     
    To make an API call in Postman, follow this guide:
    https://yzhums.com/6117/
     
    However, when updating the status, note that this field is read-only in Business Central. You will need to use a codeunit to update the status.
     
    Watch this video to understand how to call a codeunit:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZav5n0zqk

    Example Codeunit:
    codeunit 50100 "SalesOrderProcessing"
{
    Permissions = tabledata "Sales Header" = rimd;
    
    procedure UpdateSalesOrderStatus(orderno: Text[50]; status: Text[50]): Text
    var
        SalesOrder: Record "Sales Header";
    begin
        SalesOrder.Reset();
        SalesOrder.SetRange("Document Type", "Sales Document Type"::Order);
        SalesOrder.SetRange("No.", orderno);
        if SalesOrder.FindFirst() then begin
            case status of
                'Open':
                    SalesOrder.Status := SalesOrder.Status::Open;
                'Released':
                    SalesOrder.Status := SalesOrder.Status::Released;
            end;
            SalesOrder.Modify(true);
        end else
            exit('Sales Order not found.');
    end;
}


    Example HTTP API Call
    POST /v2.0/{your tenantID}/Production/ODataV4/SalesOrderProcessing_UpdateSalesOrderStatus
Host: api.businesscentral.dynamics.com
Content-Type: application/json
If-Match: *
company: 2006d1d5-1a4e-ef11-bfe7-6045bde9c989  // your company ID
Authorization: Bearer {Provide Token}

{
    "orderno": "S-ORD101001",
    "status": "Released"
}
