Need Help Accessing Custom Fields for Shipping Dimensions in Business Central

Posted on by CU01100812-0

I am working on a task where we need to fetch the dimensions (weight, length, width, and height) of a box for sales orders that have a free shipping rate. These dimensions are critical as we pass them to various courier service APIs (e.g., UPS, FedEx, USPS).

However, I am encountering an issue in fetching the box dimensions specifically, as I found that these dimensions are stored in custom fields. I would like to know how I can retrieve the values of these custom fields in Business Central.

Questions:

What steps do I need to follow to access these custom fields in Business Central?
Is there a specific API or method I should use to ensure I can successfully fetch the data from these custom fields

Thanks!

Hello,

You need to add the App of the custom fields as one of the dependencies in your project folder.

Run download symbols in Visual Studio code and now you can point to those fields.
