Creation of an Odata feed based on a query

Posted on by Andrew Lane Lindy 15

Hi,

Is it possible to create a 'custom' odata web service based on a sql query, i.e. is it possible for a 'normal user' without having to pay a developer ?

Sample query

SELECT  Item_No

      ,MIN(Posting_Date) as NewOnStock_Date_UK       

  FROM < the Dynamics table called [item ledger entries export] >

  WHERE Location_Code = 'GIN'

       AND Document_Type =  'Purchase Receipt'

GROUP BY Item_No

ORDER BY Item_No ASC

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    Maybe create and publish a PowerBi report and embed that in BC?

    Thank you.

    No, that's not possible, because of the MIN(Posting_Date) requirement ;-)

    However, you can use the Reporting Data Setup wizard, as a user in BC, to expose Pages/Queries as ODATA web services:

    If you can’t find it in the Assisted Setup, then you can try this link:

    This runs page 6711, the Setup Reporting Data wizard.ReportingDataSetup.png
