How to PUT data with linked entities

I’m trying to build a script that will create a new customer via REST API. I’m running into issues with linked entities not shown in the Web Service Endpoints form yet I need to pass a value for them. For example, I receive the following error message.

 'error': "Inserting  'Location' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors.; CSalesAcctID: 'Sales Account' cannot be empty."

 

However, I’m not sure how to resolve this issue when I’m sending a PUT method to Acumatica with the following parameters.

    },
    'Location':{
        'CSalesAcctID': {'value': 60030},
    },

 

I noticed that Location was not listed as a linked entity in the Web Service Endpoints list.

 

How am I able to make the connection to Location if it’s not a part of the endpoints list?

Hi @jinin, this is what my Web Service Endpoints form looks like. Would I need to create a new endpoint like the TEST one you have?

 

Hi @brettb ,

In this case, Yes, you can extend your endpoint and try.

Hi @brettb 

We can extend the endpoint and add the Location details. Try like below

Step 1: Click on the customer entity and click on Insert

Step 2: Popup will open. Provide the enity name as Locations and select the type as Details

Step 3: Populate all required fields from the Location mapped entity.

Thanks @jinin for the response. When I click on the Customer drop down in the Web Service Endpoints form the INSERT field is grayed out. Is this due to access issues? I have administrator access.

Hi @brettb ,

I think the endpoint is extended already. Please check and confirm the endpoint is already extended. In this case, you can try with the extended endpoint and check once.

@jinin That worked! I extended the Default Endpoint and was able to add the Location entity based on the instructions above.
