Hi

As mentioned in https://help.acumatica.com/(W(5))/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=c5e2f36a-0971-4b33-b127-3c3fe14106ff

its possible to operate with odata uri conventions when querying entities (predefined or customized as well).

however no odata metadata is available for all entities, which make it impossible to work with .Net OData clients packages, and require to build the HttpRequest parameters by myself.

Am I correctly understand this, or there is a convenient way to do so ? (I do not want to define a GI for all entities I need)

Thanks

I see, however metadata won’t include my extended endpoints if I am not wrong, correct ? 

If you are talking about the Web Service Endpoints, these are a completely different thing. Those are for Acumatica REST API and it does not work with OData.

    @yoavcitron I think Odata v4 is what you are looking for:

    It allows you to query the data without a need to predefine Inquiries in the ERP.

        Thanks Dmitrii

        I thought that if its support odata uri conventions as noted in REST API documentation (see my original post) it might also support odata metadata querying. 

        Anyway, that fine. 👍🏻

        Thanks a lot.
