Missing Employee Data Fields in Business Central API Integration
We are encountering an issue with our Business Central API integration related to employee data fields. According to the table mapping documentation, the fields for bank account and IBAN numbers are available directly on the employee table:
Employee Table Documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/application/base-application/table/microsoft.humanresources.employee.employee
However, these fields are not present in the API response for employee data:
API Reference Documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/resources/dynamics_employee
Details:
Issue: The bank account and IBAN number fields are missing in the API response for employee data.
Expected Behavior: The API should return and allow update of the bank account and IBAN number fields as documented in the employee table mapping.
Actual Behavior: The API does not include these fields in the response.
Impact:
This issue is significantly affecting our ability to integrate employee data for HRM, employee hires, and payroll integrations. We have multiple customers pending for this requirement, and this issue is causing delays in the go-live dates for several Business Central projects we are running.
Request:
We request development in resolving this issue so that the API returns the expected fields.
Comments
