Is it possible to update the status of a Sales Invoice in Business Central via the API or in Business Central?
There is a codeunit published as a web service called WorkflowActionResponse. It has two actions that Power Automate uses to do the activity you want over Odata (RESTful API) - WorkflowActionResponse_Approve or WorkflowActionResponse_Reject. It takes a Workflow Step ID as a parameter. Given you're not trying to do that I expect you will need a custom codeunit to perform the task. This blog gives an example of doing such a thing: joshanglesea.wordpress.com/.../
Business Central controls the "Status" field with the use of code so you'd need to do similar via an API call.
In Sales Header table(36), there is a function SetStatus(). You can call this function in one of your codeunits(or create a new codeunit) and expose it as a webservice.Please let me know if this helps.Regards,Mohsin Abbas
Could you please elaboarte more on this. Where can I find the SetStatus() function? Is there a documentation I can look up on how to create a new codeunit and expose it as a webservice? Thanks.
