    I don't think those fields are required but you could try.

    My guess is that it it something to do with the line.Total. I think this is restricted to 2 decimal places.

     

    I haven't tried this with validation errors but I think if you cast your exception to ApiValidationException then you can access a collection of errors which may give you more information. Something like this:

     

    System.Collections.Generic.IList<MYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Error> ErrList = ((ApiValidationException)(TheException)).Errors;

Hi sajju,

 

The InnerException may explain what the validation error is. Have a look at:

 

catch (ApiCommunicationException ex) //Catch database exception
{
    string myValErrStr= ex.InnerException.Message;
    return;
}

    InnerException.Message is "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.".

     

    Wonder whether we need to provide the following also for a service line

    //line.UnitCount = 0;
    //line.UnitOfMeasure = "";
    //line.UnitPrice = 0;
    //line.UnitPriceForeign = 0;
    //line.DiscountPercent = 0;

     

    Please clarify.

        Thanks for your suggestion - 

        System.Collections.Generic.IList<MYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Error> ErrList = ((ApiValidationException)(ex)).Errors;

         

        Really helped me to pin point the cause - Freight Tax Code is required. Once this data was provided posting was through.

         

        I also corrected the decimal place for the line total field. Again many thanks.

         

        Cheers
