Update Custom Entity

H
Freshman I

Hi team, 

I hope everyone is doing well, 

I would like to know if there is a way to customize a custom entity created in an Acumatica Instance through REST API.

Please see an example below of the Entity I created, As you can see, this is a Custom Entity with a custom name and is basically a summary from different tables. I use this table to create a Generic Inquiry for other reports but, the Fields Forecast should come from a third party software that I have. 

 

 

I tried to create a Custom Endpoint but I didn’t know how to link this table to an screen or how to map the fields from the entry. 

If you can help me with some links or something I can refer to know how to solve question. 

 

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi @hortega ,

Create a Generic Inquiry with the necessary fields in the result grid.

 - Go to the Web Service Endpoint screen.

 - Enter the endpoint's name and version.

 - Click the insert button to open a popup. Enter the entity name and select the GI name.

- Ensure that the "Make Visible on UI" checkbox is selected for the GI. This step is essential for enabling the selection of the GI on the Endpoint screen.


- After saving the endpoint entity, the fields from the result grid will automatically load onto the entity.

- Now, you can proceed to test by making a GET call and retrieving the data.

@hortega,

As it is a GI, you might have to use PUT request(instead of GET as in the last point by @jinin) to retrieve the data.

Thanks @Vignesh Ponnusamy . It should be PUT request. By mistake added as GET ☹️
