Release an AR Invoice

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can release an AR invoice.

System Preparation

Before you test the code below, you need to do the following to configure your client application and the MYOB Acumatica instance to be used:
  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. 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.
  3. If you are using 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.
  4. On the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form, create an invoice, save it, and click Remove Hold.
  5. In the database, in the ARInvoiceNbr table, learn the RefNoteID value that corresponds to the reference number of the created invoice, which is stored in the RefNbr column.

Request

You can use the following request example to invoke the release operation for an AR invoice through the contract-based REST API. You specify the RefNoteID value of the invoice in the id field of the request body.

Tip: In the request example below, <MYOB Acumatica host> is the URL of the MYOB Acumatica host (such as https://my.acumatica.com). You need to use the instance name in the URL of the request (such as https://my.acumatica.com/MyInstance) if the instance is not installed in the root of the website.
