Serial Number API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

We are building an application where we would like to scan the serial number of an item, and this item is has already been entered in the Sales order and then processed down to the shipping order. After scanning that serial number into our application, it can go to Business Central and get the shipment order number, the Customer, Product Item no, and the Item Description.

We are not able to find anything in the API's where we can utilize the Serial Numbers of an item in an way.

Can you point us in the right direction or suggest an alternative?

Thanks!

    To be able to solve this you need to build a custom api that can take the serial number as a parameter and use that to find the shipment the serial number was one.

    Hi, you can publish the Serial Number page to Web Service, or create new API page.

    Personally recommend the latter.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
