Issues when updating products via API

[novastream]

Hi,

So I've created a parser in C# that gets prices, stock on hand and other info from one of our distributors.

The products are created manually in EspoCRM then mapped via ID in my parser.

The problem I'm facing is that if I don't set Cost price field to 0 I get an validation error.

Endpoint

https://crm.domain.com/api/v1/Product/66c7070ede7fde675

Payload
{
"url": "https://domain.com/p/powerwalker-vi-2200-lcd-ups-1200watt-2200va-988850910",
"costPrice": 150.35,
"weight": 12.16,
"status": "Available",
"cStockOnHand": 2,
"cEanCode": "4260074976502"
}

Error
{
"messageTranslation": {
"label": "validationFailure",
"scope": null,
"data": {
"field": "costPrice",
"type": "validCurrency"
}
}
}

Now I know how to work around it by setting the initial price to zero. Just wondering if it's the intended behaviour.

Not sure. "validCurrency" validation is failed when a passed currency is not one of the currencies allowed in the system.

novastream I had the same "issue", ended up skipping validation for currency fields.

I missed your provided payload. Try passing "costPriceCurrency": "USD" in your payload. Use the currency you need instead of USD.

Thanks!

I created a workflow that added costPrice 0 if costPrice was empty on creation but sending costPriceCurrency is working and the correct solution. Thanks both of you.
