ODATA POST for subtypes of Product

[michielc]

Hi all,

We are working on an implementation where the Product model is extended multiple times in order to add type specific attributes.

I can create a product using a POST call to https://localhost:9002/odata2webservices/InboundProduct/Products using the following payload:

{
    "code": "testProduct01",
    "catalogVersion": {
        "catalog": {
            "id": "testProductCatalog"
        },
        "version": "Staged"
    },
    "unit": {
        "code": "pieces"
    }
}

We have over 10 child types that extend the Product model, so we want to avoid having to create IntegrationObjects or IntegrationObjectItems (InboundProduct:Product) for each of them because this will introduce a lot of duplication and maintenance. This help page hints to the fact that you can POST child types using the ALL_SUBTYPES_AND_SUPER_TYPES option: https://help.sap.com/viewer/50c996852b32456c96d3161a95544cdb/2105/en-US/600dd324ae444b208831204588f3...

Are we misinterpreting something, or is it indeed possible to create child items using the same request?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Michiel
