Create SalesPerson with API

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by dibeau 9
Dear Business Central Forum users
 
We are working on automating the process of creating users and salespersons in Business Central within our organization. I have successfully created users using the PowerShell module, but I am having trouble finding the right documentation to create a SalesPerson using the Business Central API. I am referencing the (v1.0) API documentation for Dynamics 365 Business Central on Microsoft Learn. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this simply not possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance

    I would recommend publishing an OData Web Service pointing to the Sales Person card (Page 5116). This would not require any development.
     
    Here's the official documentation on publishing Web Services:

    Just as a clarification: this OData webservice is not the same thing as BC Apis, but if you're just trying to find a way of exchanging data with BC using internet calls, OData web services can certainly help in case you don't have them available through an existing API.

    As far as I know there is no standard API for SalesPersons, this would require customization.
    PS:
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Can we extend standard APIs? – Download Standard Source Code for APIs
     
    Dynamics 365 Business Central Online: Endpoints for the APIs (V1.0, V2.0, Beta, custom, automation……)
     
    Thanks.
