Business Central API: Close a Sales Return Order

Question

As the heading says I want to close a Sales Return Order form via the API but I have very little information on how to achieve that.

1. A third-party app is installed in the customers Business Central which task is to create return orders from eCommerce into Business Central
2. I have set up a webservice so that my application can get all return orders from the business central
3. The Last step is to close/post all the return orders via the api after the application has handled them.

This is the first time for me working with a sales return order in BC and what I have read is that I can be quite tricky since there is no documentation.

Q: Do I need to develop an action with AL to achieve that?

Answer 1

At the moment there is no standard API in Business Central for Sales Return Orders.

This means the answer to your question is: Yes, you must extend Business Central with the requested functionality through AL.

Have a look at how the ShipAndInvoice procedure is implemented in the Sales Orders API. It is basically the same you want to do for Sales Return Orders.

Take a look at this question here on StackOverflow regarding how to call the bound action on the API.
