POST data to Epicor Kinetic

Kinetic ERP
1

I have a question for everyone. From what I have been told in house is that my company doesn’t have the ability to Post data into our epicor environment. Is this true? Is there a way I can verify that I can POST data?

2

POST data?

Need more context friend Epicor is fully RESTFul and you can POST anything given the right data set access and business object

But I’m not sure if that’s what you are asking

I want to be able to post tech information for a service call from a form I built to a specific Service Call. That make sense?

Sure you can like I said depending on the epicor version

kinetic is fully RESTful
You’ll probably want to start with tracing and go from there

@klincecum im on my phone can you point our friend to some resources if you have a sec

Sure does, can you give me a little bit more info so I can point you to the right resources?

As well as:

What version are you on?
On prem? SaaS?

Etc

I am on the SaaS.

7

Public cloud?

Not a multi-tenant customer correct?

Yes we are on a public cloud. We have a couple of sites we can switch between but all on the same tenant.

I’m pulling you up a few threads to look at.

Would you mind explaining more about what you want to do?

The service platform was taking far too long for our techs to fill out the information. We need them on the road and doing their jobs. I was able to cut this time from 40 mins to 10 mins with a MS form that I have. If the user can’t do this in 5-10 clicks then the UI is not right. Right now an admin is entering their data for them from my form. I want to send that data into epicor with the click of a button. Hence removing the admin from the manual portion.

Based on that answer… Functions is where it is at.
You can call these via REST, and encapsulate your logic there.
Beats doing the rest methods directly.
