What should I use for contact_id when creating a sales invoice?

[Stuart Eastland]

I am using POST to create a new sales order but I get an error saying that "contact cannot be found".

 I am using a unique reference for all my contacts which matches the database id from our in-house database as a lookup on contacts (customer/supplier), however I am supplying the numeric "id" for a customer which I get from the customer details page url when using the api.

Hi Suart, thank you for your question.

Are you able to clarify the endpoint you are using to obtain the contact ID please. I'm not familiar with the customer details page url.

I've included the following link to our contact API reference should you require it. https://developer.sage.com/api/accounting/api/contacts/
