    @Stefano

    Thanks for your prompt response!

    I am newbie in BC processing, can you share any useful link on how to set up the properties you mentioned?

    I want to post data to timesheet, Is that possible?

    Or better: create a new page with the fields you need and use that page (more performant).

    If the page you have exposed as web service is Editable = false by default, you cannot insert records.

    You need to create a pageextension object and set editable = true property.

    Simply set editable = true property in the exposed page.

    Is this the Contact card or List Page publishes as web service? Is Insert enabled in that page?
