Unable to retrieve new customer from MYOB SDK

I am trying something like

customer.Uid = Guid.NewGuid()
// set other properties
myCustomerService.Insert(myCompanyFile, myobCustomerContact, myCredentials );
myobCustomerContact = myCustomerService.Get(myCompanyFile, myobCustomerContact.UID,myCredentials);

The Get returns a 404 error.

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • You cannot currently control the UID used to insert a new entity; the API will create a new UID on insert for you.

    When you use InsertAsync the task will return a string which is the full URI to the newly inserted entity. You can then retrieve the entity using

    var location = await service.InsertAsync(cf, customer, credentials, ct);
var insertedEntity = await service.GetAsync(cf, new Uri(location), credentials, ct);

    however if you want to insert and retrieve an inserted entity then you can use InsertExAsync e.g.

    var insertEntity = await service.InsertExAsync(cf, customer, credentials, ct);
