Kaizen #53 - Sales Orders #API
Hello everyone!
Welcome back to another week of Kaizen.
In this post, we will discuss inserting, updating, and deleting a Sales Order via an API.
What is a Sales Order?
A Sales Order is a document sent to your customers to confirm the items and prices of a sale. It is usually created after a quote is accepted by your customers, and your items are ready to be shipped or delivered to them.
Getting a Sales Order
Use the Get Records API to get the record(s) from the Sales Order module.
Request URL: {api-domain}/crm/v2/Sales_Orders (or)
{api-domain}/crm/v2/Sales_Orders/ {record_id}
Request Method: GET
Sample Response

Apart from the above keys, you can also specify the keys about the billing and shipping details. Go to Setup > Developer Space > APIs > API Names > Sales Orders to know the API names of these fields. You can also use the Fields Metadata API.
