Testing of the Request

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 To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance.
  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 use Postman as the client application for testing, in the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json collection (which is located in the IntegrationDevelopment\Help folder of the Help-and-Training-Examples repository on GitHub), make sure the collection variables have the proper values.
  4. On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure the Payroll and US Payroll features are enabled.
  5. Modify the earning type code as follows:
    Tip: If you use the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json Postman collection for testing, you do not need to perform the following configuration steps because they are performed in the pre-request script.
    1. On the Earning Type Codes (PR102000) form, open the HL earning type code (which represents public holidays).
    2. Change the settings of the earning type code as follows:
      • Earning Type Category: Time Off
      • Regular Time Type Code: RG
    3. Save your changes.
