Business Central API - Create Item

Posted on by Azzure-IT-CSwann

Hello,

I find continual use of configuration packages very clunky and often have a requirement to upload prospect demonstration data into a demo instance of BC for presentations. I have been experimenting with using Postman to communicate with BC and can successfully GET items, customers, salesOrders etc. However, when trying to POST an array of new items, I am unable to find out how. From the documentation - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/api-reference/v1.0/api/dynamics_create_item - I am able to create new items one at a time, but not as a batch.

Can someone please let me know if this is a real restriction of the API or whether there is a way to batch create items etc.

Kind regards,

Carl

Alternative being use Power Automate or Logic Apps. Let’s say the data is stored in an Excel table. Use the Excel connector to get each row. Add a loop control (for each) so each result has the same treatment applied to it. In the loop you will post to the BC api. The kind of pattern I mean is displayed here: d365bcangle.wordpress.com/.../
