API to create Document keep failing

[Nguyen Do Le Bao]

Hi, 

I am using postman to create a document based on API. 

But seem like it keep failing to parse the Request Body. 

How do i make it work ?

Hi Nguyen,

Your body is malformed.

I tried to create a Purchase order (in our demo env) using the Postman tool like this,

with the data being

{"supplier": "Asiatic Solutions", "po_details":  [{   "doctype": "Purchase Order Item",   "name": "New Purchase Order Item 1",   "stock_uom": "Nos",   "item_code": "Base Bearing Plate",   "item_group": "Raw Material",   "description": "1/4 in. x 6 in. x 6 in. Mild Steel Plate",   "stock_qty": 1,   "base_price_list_rate": 15,   "brand": null,   "barcode": null,   "base_amount": 15,   "expense_account": null,   "projected_qty": null,   "item_tax_rate": "{}",   "rate": 15,   "cost_center": "Main - WP",   "qty": 1,   "price_list_rate": 15,   "pricing_rule": null,   "discount_percentage": 0,   "item_name": "Base Bearing Plate",   "income_account": "Sales - WP",   "min_order_qty": "",   "amount": 15,   "conversion_factor": 1,   "batch_no": null,   "warehouse": "Stores - WP",   "supplier_part_no": null,   "base_rate": 15,   "uom": "Nos",   "received_qty": 0,   "billed_amt": 0,   "schedule_date": "2014-08-23" }] }

Pretty printed:

{
  "supplier": "Asiatic Solutions",
  "po_details": [
    {
      "doctype": "Purchase Order Item",
      "name": "New Purchase Order Item 1",
      "stock_uom": "Nos",
      "item_code": "Base Bearing Plate",
      "item_group": "Raw Material",
      "description": "1/4 in. x 6 in. x 6 in. Mild Steel Plate",
      "stock_qty": 1,
      "base_price_list_rate": 15,
      "brand": null,
      "barcode": null,
      "base_amount": 15,
      "expense_account": null,
      "projected_qty": null,
      "item_tax_rate": "{}",
      "rate": 15,
      "cost_center": "Main - WP",
      "qty": 1,
      "price_list_rate": 15,
      "pricing_rule": null,
      "discount_percentage": 0,
      "item_name": "Base Bearing Plate",
      "income_account": "Sales - WP",
      "min_order_qty": "",
      "amount": 15,
      "conversion_factor": 1,
      "batch_no": null,
      "warehouse": "Stores - WP",
      "supplier_part_no": null,
      "base_rate": 15,
      "uom": "Nos",
      "received_qty": 0,
      "billed_amt": 0,
      "schedule_date": "2014-08-23"
    }
  ]
}

It did work.
Will strengthen the API to give meaningful Validation errors
