Submitting Project Time via REST methods

Epicor ERP 10

We are having some trouble trying to Submit Time via the REST API. We can enter the time, but can’t get it to the Submitted Status.

In the past, I got Time Entry to work using an Updateable BAQ which we exposed in the Access Scope. That worked once we figured out we had to call the ValidateChargeRates method before calling the Submit method.

We have a Service Connect workflow which also works (time from a different company) which does the same thing.

Now we are attempting to replace the Service Connect workflow and put Time into Epicor using the BO.Labor methods rather than a BAQ. The guys working on it have been trying to use the Swagger interface first to try and figure it out, but it’s not been working.

We have tried playing around with TimeAutoSubmit, but no luck there. I am pretty sure that’s a dead end, though if it’s not, that would be great :slight_smile:

Any ideas?

Isn’t there the auto submit on save flag on the time and Expense form, I wonder how that translates to REST API…

Hey Marjorie,

There’s a long history of people of people on this forum struggling with re-engineering call sequences of REST calls. You can transfer your knowledge of the working UBAQ into an Epicor Function and greatly simplify the work at the clients - both ServiceConnect and your web app. It’s still REST but you have more control over interface and less code required in the clients.

Just a thought.

Can you execute your BAQ via REST?

Sometimes this is easier that trying to call BO’s in REST.
