Hi All,

I need to create a webservice in NAV 2018 to be used in an external app. The webservice is called for a specific item number, the webservice should return a JSON with some relevant information of this specific item.

I have a hard time finding a good example which is covering this issue, can anybody provide me a simple example?

Thanks in advance,
Yannick

Well, I actually have three levels.... creating three webservices doesn't feel like the right solution.

Thanks for you help, I will try to find another solution!

You can have an odata too for your CRUD operations.

This two level is not quite feasible and complicated something called as deep insert. For a data like this,what I can also recommend is to create two web services one for Item and another for Item variant and use it's odata as pages. (For passing data from nav to external application)

The external application can use these 2 services in their JavaScript and accept it that way.

Thank you.

Thanks Jyoysna,

Couple of questions....

I can only use this as a SOAP?

I don't understand how to expose the JSON build in the function GetItem?

How can I build a JSON with multiple levels (item -> item variant)?

I would like to do a webservice call like this.... webservice url/getitemnumber('1000')

and return a JSON like this....

{

"name": "Item description",

"itemnumber": "1000"

},

"variants": [

{

"name": "White",

"inventory": 11

},

{

"name": "Red",

"inventory": 13

}

]

}
