Business Central API Date Format

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TESDEveloper 12

We have a Power Automate flow which reads a CSV File and uses the Business Central Connector to create records. 

The CSV File contains a column which stores a date and time. This is in DD-MM-YYYY 00:00 format. In the api we are attempting to assign this to a DateTime field. 

It seems the API will only accept MM-DD-YYYY 00:00.

Is there any settings we can amend in Business Central SaaS, or must we amend the date format outside of Business Central?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi TESDEveloper ,

    Are you using any Page API or Codeunit API which is using a function to get the response from Powerautomate flow and you are reading that response through Text or JsonObject variables?

    If yes, then before storing that values to the actually, you can read that response, and do some amendment save it in new variables, and then save it desitnation.

    Format is different as far as I understand. Check this out: www.sauravdhyani.com/.../nav-2013-nav-2013-r2-how-to-using.html

    Just OData format so hasn’t changed despite this being an old blog. Something like this would be the expectation: '2010-01-25T02:13:40.1374695Z'.
