VendorPayment POST through API does not change the status of PurchaseInvoice to PAID

When POSTing a PurchaseInvoice, the status field is "read-only" and gets posted as `Draft` through the API, although in the actual application it says `Open`.

When trying to reference a PurchaseInvoice in the VendorPayment API, the VendorPayment either require the `appliesToInvoiceNumber` or `appliesToInvoiceId` fields filled out. When I use the `appliesToInvoiceId`, I get an error that says "The \"appliesToInvoiceId\" should be the ID of an Open, Paid, Corrective, or Canceled Invoice." However, when using the `appliesToInvoiceNumber`, the VendorPayment gets posted, but does not change the status of the PurchaseInvoice to Paid. How can I change the status of the PurchaseInvoice to paid when POSTing a VendorPayment specifically for that PurchaseInvoice?

Thank you in advance!

I'm using the standard Business central API v2! I would like to avoid creating my own API if possible.

Hi,

Have you created your own API or are you using standard Business central API?

And what is the version you are using v1 or v2.

Can you insert the Purchase Invoice first trough API and then do a get request to check status field is in draft or not and then post it from front end and check the status of PPI by doing a get request is it Open or Draft?

If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much

Hello!

I am actually talking about moving a PurchaseInvoice from Open to Posted. Is this possible from the api?

Are you talking about the closed filed on the posted purchase invoices?

If so can you provide a sample showing the vendor ledger entries that is generated from posting of the invoice and the payment?
