Sales invoice header and sales invoice lines creation via web services?

benjasik

I want to create a sales invoice through the api and I'm wondering the best way to do this

Do I need to create a sales invoice header first, and then insert sales invoice lines parented to the sales invoice header that I insert or is there a way to do this as a single web service api transaction?

This is for business central 17 on premise wave 2

Thanks in advance.

create a function in codeunit with a parameter for xml
xml will create the sales order (xml.import)
publish the codeunit, call the function using soap api with xml

Don't import straight into the Sales Invoice Header and Line tables, those are the posted documents and those should only be created by the posting routines. Create an unposted invoice and post that to have BC create all the necessary entries.
