Business Central API - No reference field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by plolk 5

Hi

I am creating a purchase invoic from my Python API, but have a problem with the reference field.
First of all I can't see the field "reference" in the API resource for purchase invoices:

https://docs.microsoft.com/da-dk/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/resources/dynamics_purchaseinvoice

The reference should be seen in this field:

Is it possible?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    If "Reference" is a standard Microsoft field, then you can suggest that it gets added to the API here:

    GitHub - microsoft/ALAppExtensions: Repository for collaboration on Microsoft AL application add-on and localization extensions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

    If it is a custom field and/or if the api is a custom api, then you need to add the field to the api page. A quick look at your URL tells me that it looks to be done by dev-itpro, in which case if you contact them, they may be able to add the field to the api.

    Hope that helps.
