Invoke Release of an Invoice

If you are using the REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can release a sales invoice. For example, the external system can release a sales invoice in MYOB Acumatica when a user confirms the sales invoice in the external system.

In MYOB Acumatica, the execution of the request described in this topic changes the value in the Status box on the Invoices (SO303000) form to Open.

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 T100 dataset. For details on deploying an instance, see To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance in the Installation Guide.
  2. 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.
  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 MYSTORE branch.
  4. Remove the INV000046 sales invoice from hold as described in Remove a Sales Invoice from Hold.

Request

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.

You can use the following example of HTTP request to invoke the release operation for the INV000046 sales invoice.

Note:
You need to check the operation result by using the URL that is available in the Location header of the response. The operation is completed when the GET request to this URL returns 204 No Content.
