Posted on by Community member 26
Hi ,
 
I am a salesforce developer and trying to iintegrate salesforce with Business central.
 
The business central is a On premises server and will look like this 
 
 
With the above API i can get the accounts.
 
Through same way I am trying to create customer using below API
 
 
But I am getting error as like below
 
{
/error/: {
/code/: /BadRequest_NotFound/,
/message/: /No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'https://odata.eclouds.com:8548/eclouds_SF_TEST/ODataV4/Company(%27CASCADE%20-%20SETUP%27)/Customer'. CorrelationId: 485553a1-bc4c-4f42-ae45-df723a366658./
}
}
 
And I am not able to find proper API documentation of ODATAv4.
 
How to create a customer ?

    Hi Mohana Yadav,
     
    As by your guidance I used Basic Authentication and things are looking good to me. Long time struggle came to end for me now :). Thanks again

    You can use BASIC authentication for both APIs and ODATA.
    You need to be created as a user though.

    Hi Mohana Yadav,
     
    I am not sure how to find the BC version.
     
    I can use basic Authentication but seems its enabled in lower environemnt only . this is what we got from BC techinical team
     
    The BC API for your version of Business Central only supports basic authentication, and most actions should be possible with the ODATA endpoints, so we recommend against using the API endpoints in production until you are on a version of Business Central that supports OAuth for API access. If it is necessary to keep the API endpoints enabled for now, see below for connection info:
     
    So Basic Authentication for API endpoints only , right?

    Which version of BC are you using?
    Why cant you use Basic authentication?
     
    You can use ODATA endpoints also but there will be performance issues.

    Hi YUN Shu,
     
    We asked for API version and this is what the reply got from BC

    So I feel better using the ODATA endpoints only?
     
    Your thoughts please?

    Hi, have you published the customer list page to the Web Service? It is recommended that you check this page first. If it is not there, you need to add it manually.
     
    However, I personally recommend using the API for better performance.
    Create customers:
     
    PS: Standard API for Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS (Get, Post, Patch, Delete and Basic query parameters – filter, orderby, select…)
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
