Assign a document number to a sales order

The following XML example shows how to use an eConnect XML document to create a sales order. In addition, the document uses eConnect to query Microsoft Dynamics GP for a sales order number. The query result populates the <SOPNUMBE> element of the document. Note the following characteristics of the document:

• The document contains a single <SOPTransactionType> transaction type schema. The schema specifies the XML nodes you use to create a sales order.
• Notice how the document uses a <taSopLineIvcInsert> node to create a line item and a <taSopHdrIvcInsert> node for the header of the sales order. The <taSopLineIvcInsert_Items> node enables the document to include one or more line items.
• Notice how the <SOPNUMBE> element of the <taSopLineIvcInsert> and <taSopHdrIvcInsert> nodes do not specify a value. The element will be populated when the query obtains the new sales order number.
• Notice how the <SOPTYPE> element of the <taSopLineIvcInsert> and <taSopHdrIvcInsert> nodes are populated the with the value of 2. The value specifies that the document is a sales order.
• Notice that the <DOCID> element of the <taSopHdrIvcInsert> node is populated with the value STDORD. The value specifies the type of sales order you want to create.
• The values you use in the <SOPTYPE> and <DOCID> elements determine the type of Microsoft Dynamics GP document number that is requested for this sales order.
