Posting a New Company



===== Concept =====



This wiki includes steps with example for posting a new company to the database using WAPIC.



===== Cautions =====



Warning - These steps will add a new company to the database. Use caution when testing this on a Live Database.



Data can be lost if not done properly.



===== Steps =====


  - Launch the test fiddler application


  - Select "POST" from the dropdown and enter the following URL: https://localhost:5321/wapic/Companies.


  - Enter the WAPIC authorized Control Username and Password


  - Paste in the JSON data to be posted (New Company with one contact) in the Request Body field of the fiddler.


    - Example JSON formatted data located below.


  - Click Submit.


  - The Response Header should return "200 OK" and the Response Body should contact the Company you just posted in JSON format.

**Important Notes:**1) The CustomerNumber must be unique.2) There must be one contact on when posting a new company.



This query can be used to determine the most recent CustomerNumber that was used in the database. Then increment that by 1:

https://localhost:5321/wapic/Companies?$orderby=CustomerNumber desc&$top=1

This code below is a Company with one contact in JSON format. This can be used as an example:
