I did a little “Hello World” example a little while ago. This might help when reading the documentation.

I’ve been recommending Epicor Functions a lot so I wanted to demystify it a bit so people see the value. While you can call Epicor Functions from BPMs, etc. - I’m more interested in how you can define your own API into Epicor. At the core of functions is the Library and your functions live there. You can then call your functions from REST v2. Here’s a little Hello World example for functions. First, you need to give yourself security to do functions. This is done through Groups and not the Opti…
