I am unable to create a new customer through the business central api :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/api/dynamics_customer_create
Providing the following request body:
{
"number": "TCUST",
"displayName": "Test Customer"
}
results in the following error:
{
"error": {
"interface": "error-object",
"main": {
"status": 500,
"msg": "The field Gen. Bus. Posting Group of table Customer contains a value (DOMESTIC) that cannot be found in the related table (Gen. Business Posting Group). ",

}
}
After doing some research I thought i may be able to provide the posting group within the request body as suggested in this question:
{
"number": "TCUST",
"displayName": "Test Customer",
"Gen. Bus. Posting Group": "DEFAULT"
}
Default is a valid posting group and this did not work either. Any other suggestions?
update, i created the DOMESTIC posting group it defaults to and it works fine but i still need to know how to actually set it to a valid one through the api.
