(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 350

I an working on a API Endpoint and found that using an unbound action was a lot easier than a bound action. I wonder if bound actions are preferrable for light cases only?

What are the advantages of using bound actions?

What are the disadvantages of unbound actions?

    That all depends on your use case i think.

    If you want to handle one specific record f.ex. post one single sales order - bound action is preferred.

    If you just want to start a procedure that will handle multiple records and possible spanning several tables then you can use an unbound action.
