Invoke Project Billing

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can invoke project billing. This step can be part of the larger process of creating and sending a pro forma invoice by email, which is described in Send a Pro Forma Invoice by Email.

Testing of the Request

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 To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance in the Installation Guide.
  2. On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure the Projects feature is enabled.
  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. To sign in to the instance in the client application, use the tenant name that you specified when you created the instance and the HEADOFFICE branch.
  5. Implement the Specify the Progress of a Project Task example as a prerequisite to the current example.

Requests

You can use the following sequence of examples of HTTP requests to run project billing and check the completeness of this operation through the contract-based REST API:
Tip: In the request examples 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 (such as https://my.acumatica.com) if the instance is installed in the root of the website.
