REST API - set "work description" of sales invoice

Posted on by mmustapic

How do we set a value for "Work Description" native field of the Sales Invoice via Rest API? The field is a BLOB type and as such it seems it is not exposed by default via API when accessing to a salesInvoice instance.

Should the extension for that be created or it is achievable without creating an extension (which we prefer)?
Is there any direct url to get/set it's content even if it's not in API metadata?

We are using latest D365 BC implementation: W1 16.0 (Platform 16.0.11233.12833 + Application 16.0.11240.11946),
so the following picture is just to point on which field I'm thinking of..

Hello - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

hello ,

to integrate the new work description field in the sales order, you should use the link below .

you should find it in the sales invoice api reply .

"workDescription@odata.mediaReadLink": "https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/fa669968-0000-0000-b675-c3cf959eb938/Production/ODataV4/Company('TmStaging')/salesDocuments(86193032-0000-0000-aa62-002248577cd1)/workDescription",

use the link to send the description , just write the description without any formatting like below

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/fa669968-0000-0000-b675-c3cf959eb938/Production/ODataV4/Company('TmStaging')/salesDocuments(86193032-0000-0000-aa62-002248577cd1)/workDescription

Thank you very much. This has solved my issue.

I'm using the endpoint other than odatav4 for creation of sales invoices and my endpoint doesn't include "workDescription@odata.mediaReadLink" in it's response but it's ok. I get the SalesInvoice ID after creation and use ODataV4 endpoint to modify its Work Description field as you mentioned.
