Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function SubmitOrConvert(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal SalesOrderId As String,
ByVal Status As Integer,
ByVal ColumnSetXml As String
) As String
[C#]
public string SubmitOrConvert(
CUserAuth Caller,
string SalesOrderId,
int Status,
string ColumnSetXml
);
[C++]
public: String* SubmitOrConvert(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* SalesOrderId,
long Status,
String* ColumnSetXml
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. For submit, the caller must have the prvWriteOrder privilege to perform this action. For convert to invoice, the caller must have the prvReadOrder, prvReadInvoice and prvCreateInvoice privileges to perform this action. See CUserAuth.
SalesOrderId
Specifies the ID of the sales order that is to be submitted.
Status
Specifies the status of the sales order. You can use this parameter to specify application status. See Remarks.
ColumnSetXml
Specifies an XML string describing the set of columns that is to be retrieved. Passing "" or null returns all columns. You can find the valid column names in invoice.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the invoice information. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSetXml parameter. The XML schema is described by invoice.xsd.
Remarks
Note The Status parameter corresponds to Status Reason in the Microsoft CRM application. If you pass -1 for this parameter, the platform sets the status to the appropriate value for the Microsoft CRM application. You can use the RetrieveStatus method to retrieve the status codes used in the application.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
