Dimension values returns in the rest API are less than what we have in Business Central

Posted on by Hussin Saeed 9

Hey there! 

I'm integrating Business Central with my software [HR], the integration functionality is to send the payroll transactions from my software to business central as journal entry. 

The problem I'm facing is that when I hit the API to get the list of dimension values for a specific dimension it shows less results, I mean the list of values comparing to what I have in business central is very less I have 52 values, but what I'm getting is only 6 values.

This is the API: api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../{{environment}}/api/v2.0/dimensions(69572523-df3a-ed11-bbae-6045bd8e554a)/dimensionValues

    Hi, I did a simple test and didn't encounter your problem.
    Please confirm whether the environment and company values in the endpoint are correct.

    https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/d8f36038-1f93-4543-affc-5dc92b6ee871/Sandbox221/api/v2.0/companies(25333785-59e9-ed11-884d-6045bde998ec)/dimensions(ea622016-56f0-ed11-8848-6045bd67d7ed)/dimensionValues

    Yes, company and environment values are correct.

    However other APIs like the accounts list API is working fine, it returns all the accounts.

    I'm not sure if there is something in the configuration I need to look at
