Dynamics NAV 2018 web services/odata purchase order line

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by webster 5

Using web services and OData V4 and c# Connected Services I am trying to create a new purchase order line and add it to an existing purchase order.  I am able to update existing purchase order line such as the quantity, however when trying to create a new line all I get is the error:

DataServiceClientException: {"error":{"code":"BadRequest_InvalidOperation","message":"Control 'Unit of Measure Code' is read-only."}}

I am not even trying to change/set the field value, however nothing I have tried can get me past this error whether I set it or not it seems the SaveChanges() is trying to alter the value anyway causing the error.  I wanted to check here if I am missing an option as I do not want to get a developer involved.

    Update: I figured a way to get past this one field.  Creating a second item unit of measure for the item being added allows the field to be editable.  Of course now I am getting:

    DataServiceClientException: {"error":{"code":"BadRequest_InvalidOperation","message":"Control 'Total Amount Excl. VAT' is read-only."}}

    The question really becomes, if the field(s) are read-only, how do I get the web service to update the calculated fields so it does not consider me altering read-only fields?

    Thank you for the suggestion, but is that variable set inside the Dynamics IDE - page?  I don't have a developer license.

    In Purchase Order Subform, the Editable property of UoM is controlled by a variable(UnitofMeasureCodeIsChangeable). Check this method UpdateEditableOnRow()

    See if it is failing some condition or if it is required to see the variable to TRUE, always.
