Custom Object Builder: object with link to Customer Thing Type missing Customer ID in WSDL

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We have created a custom object "ActualSales" via the Customer Object Builder in the C4C Administration WC.

We want to create object instances by calling the WSDL that is automatically generated in C4C. As the custom object is related to the customer we linked it to the Customer ThingType. Looking at the WSDL that was provided, we notice that in the query operations there is node to enter in the customer ID.

However, the "Create"-operation is missing is missing the field to provide the customer ID. So all data we are uploading by calling the WSDL is missing this customer link.

Is it just not possible to create an object linked to a standard object via the generated web service?
Is there a step we missed?

Any advice is more than welcome!

Kr,

Glenn

Hi,

Did you try via OData ?

Its easy to build OData for your COB-BO using the OData Service Exploer.

https://open.sap.com/courses/cp3c4c/items/1XLF8aUR7jf5KzV2EOL7W0 check this.

Here, they have created custom BO using the Custom Object Builder and thing type with Employee (std BO) and works perfectly well. It should work in your case too just that your thing type is customer.

SAP is moving away from SOAP and use of OData is encouraged.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Suchita
