Hi Andrew, Thanks a lot for getting in touch. I've been investigating this today and can replicate the behaviour you have found. I'll escalate this to be looked at further by the development teams. It's important to consider the impact of changing the catalog type of a product, especially if it's already a stock item, with quantities recorded. In the UI you will receive a warning when attempting to do this, asking you to consider any existing stock etc. Similar considerations should be applied when doing this via the API (I will investigate our side of validation etc) - are you planning to validate this in your app? Thanks! Ben

Hi Dave, Welcome to the new community! I've had a look at the docs and on closer inspection you are indeed correct. When entering an invoice via the API it must be a positive integer only. I'll amend the docs to reflect that, it's possibly stated that way due to a string being accepted for draft invoices, which is changed to a positive integer when the draft is updated to a full invoice. Accounting must have unique invoice numbers yes, and will automatically attempt to post the invoice using the next available number which you can check via a GET request to /invoice_settings and using the `next_invoice_number` attribute. I hope that helps, Ben

Hi, Unfortunately not, this API is specifically for Sage Business Cloud Accounting v3.1. I'd give the French team a call on 0 810 30 30 30 and see if they can advise what options there are for integration, but you are correct this API isn't compatible! Let me know if you don't have any luck with them and I'll see what else I can find out for you. Ben

Hi Guiheneuf, Can I ask which region of Accounting you are working with - are you using a trial account? You will need to ensure you have access to an Accounting Business, and its the email address and password you sign in with, that you must authenticate using in Postman. If you ensure you've cleared your cookies in Postman which will give you the region selection option during authentication also. If you still need to create a trial, please go here for links to all of our regions: https://developer.sage.com/api/accounting/guides/faq/ Thanks, Ben

Hi Guiheneuf, Thanks for getting in touch! The images you have included are broken links by the looks of it, so I cannot see what the errors you are getting are? I should check, have you already registered your application in order to specify you callback url, and obtain you client_id and client_secret? Thanks, Ben

Hi Kelvin, Good to have you over here on the new community! In order to set the department/cost centre etc you'd need to be accessing the analysis codes and unfortunately they are currently not exposed to the API. We know this is an issue for anyone wanting to report on transactions grouped by department etc and are looking to get this addressed. I don't have an ETA on that currently but will update here and in the documentation as soon as we can say. Ben

Hi Everyone, I'm Ben, one of the Technical Enablement Managers working with Sage Business Cloud Accounting developers and ISV's. I'll be around on the forums here to support and engage with you where possible and look forward to building this community further
