  • Read-only: Y/N -> The field is returned by the API, but if informed on a POST/PUT method, the call is silently discarded.
  • Important: Y/N ->The field is available on the Search by important fields. See section Search by important fields for more information.

 

Extra Fields

Every entity in the FM System can have extra fields, they are customer self-maintained fields included in the entity.

In the majority of cases, extra fields are treated as regular entity fields in text format. These types of fields can be recognized because they start with the prefix “z_” (without quotes).

For example: z_internal_currency, z_text_special, z_datetime are all valid extra fields.

The following json is an example of a Company with extra fields, you will notice a number of n extra fields at the end of the entity. 

Extra fields can be operated as standard fields and always should be Strings (quotes).
