Hi Experts,

Hope you all are fine.

I am tring to get sales lines (page: 47) within sales invoice list (page: 9301) in the postman using following url:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../Company('{Company Name}')/SalesInvoiceList?$expand=SalesLine

I also tried following url:
api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../SalesInvoiceList

Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue. Answers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

    Hi,

    I understand you are using ODATA with PAGE 9301. This page does not have a part with the lines, so you can't achieve your goal without modifying the page.

    You can probably use page 5475 "Sales Invoice Entity" for this. The address, assuming that you publish it with the name "SalesInvoiceList" that is seen on your endpoint, would be the following:

    /SalesInvoiceList?$expand=SalesInvoiceListsalesInvoiceLines

    Anyway, I would recommend using the API instead of ODATA, I leave you the link to the documentation:

    This is standard API you can use to expand in API url

    Hi, Gonzalo is right. It seems that your understanding of expand method is wrong.

    It can only be expanded when the Part is included in the API page.
    For example:

    https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/APIV2/app/src/pages/APIV2SalesInvoices.Page.al

    pastedimage1683678486860v1.png

    So you can try to use the following standard APIs.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
