how to call a "function" from a visual studio project

Hello everyone,
I was trying to call a “function” from a “visual studio” project but I haven’t had success yet, have any of you managed it?

A solution I found was to create a BPM that calls the function, in order to update some field and activate the BPM, but I think it would not be correct, nor the most optimal.

Invoking it by API is not an option

Welcome to the forum. You can start here, people do that all the time, and this thread has a lot of sample code and links to other threads.

Calling an Epicor Function via C# in an external program

@klincecum, I’ve been able to get past the Function issue, but I’m still having a problem calling the function within C#. Below is thte code I’m using in the call: private static async void CallPostFunction() { try { string ApiKey = Properties.Settings.Default.APIKey; var RestClient = new RestClientBuilder() .SetAppServerUrl(Properties.Settings.Default.AppServerURL) .SetCompanyId(Prop…

That’s basically why they exist though.

The entire Epicor / Kinetic ERP is built on a RESTFul architecture you have no choice in the matter. You either call it via rest, or you use a library that calls it via rest. Or use a BPM that also… calls it via Rest

So, umm, how are you calling the bpm?

Oh wow, I forgot about that one. That was an adventure.

Got the most replies that year lol.
