Push-pull using web services, capabilities and limitations?

AlexWiley

Hi everyone, I have been having an issue understanding the capabilities of the web services since I have very limited exposure to web capabilities (NET/ASP/Java/etc). I basically need to know if we can push invoice information into Navision (Sales header + lines) in a batch from our web based customer service app, have Navision create the document numbers with its number series, and then respond with what invoice numbers were created. From what I've read it looks like the possibilities are there, but before I try to hand this off to developers I want to make sure it is possible. If there is higher level documentation on web services (for implementers and PMs working on the client side) I would really appreciate a forward- customer source access/ no partner source. Thanks everyone!

Hi Alex,

Answer to your question is YES, your Developers just need to create a codeunit and expose that as a web service. Your web programmers should be able to access it.

On NAV side, NAV Programmers needs to accept the Web Orders as an XML Document (multiple Orders) and process the XML and create NAV Sales Order, Release and so on.
