I would like to be able to run this method with the parameter "Delivery now" from Power Automate and Executon action connector?

I found I need to work with a data entity, in this case = SalesOrderLineV2Entity, and use SysODataAction.

However, I can't find a method that I can refer to.. Could anyone suggest how to do this?

Sales order view:

pick and pack form view:

HI Shooowtek,

Out of the box, there is no public action on a data entity to post a packing slip. At least, I haven't seen it myself. There are several parameters required to be able to post the correct quantity on the correct date. If you look at the form for the packing slip posting, which you partly shared as screenshot, you can see what all is related to do the correct posting.

If you need something for particular scenarios, you can develop your own data entity action. You can read more about actions on my blog: Let your Operations Flow – Part 8 - Dynamicspedia

Hello Andre,

Thank you for your reply.

I've looked over your suggestion, but I'm still a little confused about the topic.

Could you please tell me which data entity to use or which table I should use to create a custom one?

Hi Shooowtek,

I think, you should think about the whole design yourself. The data entity action should fill all tables and fields currently available on the Post packing slip form. Then it can be posted. If you have all line information in the field 'Deliver now', and you want to use the current date as posting date, it would be possible to create a data entity using the table SalesTable and then write your own 'execute action' method with all logic.

Thanks Andre,

I wrote some code and unfortunately my method is not available in the Execute action connector in PA. What could be the reason?

public class mySalesTableEntity extends common { [SysODataAction("Post Packing Slip", true)] public void postPackingSlip(SalesId _salesId) { SalesTable salesTable; CustPackingSlipJour custPackingSlipJour; TransDate packingSlipDate = DateTimeUtil::getToday(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()); SalesFormLetter_PackingSlip salesFormLetter_PackingSlip; ttsbegin; salesTable = SalesTable::find(_salesId); if(salesTable && salesTable.SalesStatus == SalesStatus::Backorder) { salesFormLetter_PackingSlip = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::PackingSlip); salesFormLetter_PackingSlip.update(salesTable, packingSlipDate, SalesUpdate::DeliverNow, AccountOrder::None, false, false); } if(salesFormLetter_PackingSlip.parmJournalRecord().TableId == tableNum(CustPackingSlipJour)) { custPackingSlipJour = salesFormLetter_PackingSlip.parmJournalRecord(); } ttscommit; } }

Hi Shooowtek,

Did you fully build you model (not only the solution/project) and completed a database sync?

Hi,

Have you try to test the Entity odata endpoint?

[finopsURL]/data/mySalesTableEntity/Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.postPackingSlip.

Please also try to restart IIS, do entity refresh to update metadata and ensure it is available on entity list.

Regards,
