Specify the Default Account of an Account Group

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can specify the default account of an account group.

System Preparation

Before you test the code below, you need to configure your client application and the MYOB Acumatica instance to be used as follows:
  1. Deploy a new MYOB Acumatica instance with the U100 dataset. For details on deploying an instance, see Instance Deployment: To Deploy an Instance with Demo Data.
  2. On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure the Projects feature is enabled.
  3. To sign in to the instance in the client application, use the tenant name (which you specified when you created the instance) and the HEADOFFICE branch.
  4. If you use Postman as the client application for testing, in the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json collection, make sure that the collection’s variables have the proper values. This collection is located in the IntegrationDevelopment\Help folder of the Help-and-Training-Examples repository on GitHub.

Request

You can use the following request example to specify the 40000 account as the default account of the ACCG02 account group through the contract-based REST API.
Tip:
In the request example below, <MYOB Acumatica instance URL> is the URL of the MYOB Acumatica instance (such as https://my.acumatica.com/MyInstance). You can omit the instance name in the URL (that is, you can use https://my.acumatica.com) if the instance is installed in the root of the website.
PUT / HTTP/1.1
Host: [<MYOB Acumatica instance URL>]/entity/Default/24.200.001/AccountGroup
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "DefaultAccountID" : {"value" : "40000"},
  "AccountGroupID" : {"value" : "ACCG02"}
