Power automate flow - ODATA filter

Posted on by Ewa10000

Hi,

I'm trying to create Flow in Power Automate for Business Central but every time I try to use Find Data (v3) to filter, filters are not working.

I've watched most of tutorials, read documentation for OData in BC and every time I receive an error "Could not find a property name" and have no other idea what else to change. Without filtering flow works correct.

What I'm trying to do is to get Purchase Invoice Lines in Type= Comment and Description containing "order".

Error:

Raw input:

{

"host": {

"connectionReferenceName": "shared_dynamicssmbsaas",

"operationId": "GetItemsV3"

"parameters": {

"bcenvironment": "<environment name>",

"company": "<company name>",

"dataset": "v2.0",

"table": "purchaseInvoiceLines",

"$filter": "contains(Description, 'Order') and Document_No eq 'N200230026' and Type eq 'Comment'"

}

I've encounter the same error while filtering PO attachments (I can send all existing attachments by email, but I cannot filter them by Document No. with the same error.

Please check you have correctly entered the field name as they are case sensitive also put the filter query like below

(agedAsOfDate eq @{variables('currentDate')}) and (balanceDue gt 0)

RE: Power automate flow - ODATA filter

First of all, you are not using OData, but a standard API.

Your syntax is fine, but the fields in the API are case-sensitive.

For example，

So, change Description to description, Document_No to documentId, Type to lineType and try again. (Note that there is no Document No in this standard API, only documentId.)

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
