Create a Sales Invoice consuming Odata Service in Business Central

Posted on by SelfStarter 70

Hello Everyone,

I am trying create a Sales Invoice using Postman. I have published two pages Page 43 Sales Invoice for the sales invoice header and Page 516 Sales Line for sales invoice lines.

I am able to successfully create the sales header using the POST method for the page as mentioned above.

But after that when I try to run a separate POST method for the above mentioned page to create the lines I get the error

Status 405 : Entity does not support insert.

Request suggestions, as I am not sure if I am using correct page for which I am consuming the service or where exactly I am going wrong for the sales invoice lines.

Also I would like to mention that I am able to create customers, vendors, Sales Invoice Headers etc.

Thanks

    Hi Josh,

    The post suggested by you gave me a fair idea of how how to create a sales order. But where I am stuck is when I try to POST the below data from Postman for my on premise environment

    {

       "number": "INV/1006",

       "externalDocumentNumber": "CUST/ODR/0003",

       "invoiceDate": "2021-06-26",

       "postingDate": "2021-06-26",

       "dueDate": "2021-07-26",

       "customerNumber": "10000",

       "salesInvoiceLines": [

           {

               "sequence": 10000,

               "lineType": "Account",

               "lineObjectNumber": "6955",

               "quantity": 1

           },

           {

               "sequence": 20000,

               "lineType": "Account",

               "lineObjectNumber": "6610",

               "unitPrice": 65432,

               "quantity": 1

           }

       ]

    }

    I receive an error message as

    "The property 'salesInvoiceLines' does not exist on type 'NAV.SalesInvoicesAPI'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type

    I have published the APIV2 - Sales Invoices page using it for the above POST method. I would like to mention I can create the sales invoice header using the api published, but I am stuck with the combination of header and line.
