Overview

You can use Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Create Snap to create new users in the Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM application for a specific entity.

...

Snap Type

The Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Create Snap is a Write-type Snap that creates a user in the application.

Prerequisites

  • A valid Finance and SCM Access Token Account and OAuth2 Account with the required permissions.

  • You must define and know the mandatory attributes for different entities in the Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations application to create records.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

 Works in Ultra Pipelines

Limitations

  • The Snap does not always fail when you pass data for existing primary keys.

  • The Snap does not support certain Unicode, Special, and UTF-8 byte characters due to the API limitation.

  • Based on your environment configurations, when the Batch size increases, the Snap might fail because of an API limitation and displays the following error message:
    Number of requests exceeded the limit of 6000 over the time window of 300 seconds

    Refer to Service protection API limits - Finance & Operations for more information.
    Workaround: You must decrease the batch size and retry.

  • The Snap fails and updates the error view with the error message from API when you pass invalid values for a mandatory field.

Known Issues

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

  • Stop pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Troubleshooting

Error

Reason

Resolution

Number of requests exceeded the limit of 6000 over the time window of 300 seconds

More than 6000 requests were made in 300 seconds.

You must decrease the batch size and retry.

Too many Requests - 429

Too many requests sent to Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM endpoint.

All Snaps related to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Snap include retry-after with <number of seconds> in the response header and automatically retry when they encounter a status 429 error. Wait for the retry to succeed.

REST API service endpoint returned error result: status code = 400

Reason phrase = BAD REQUEST, refer to the error_entity field in the error view document for more details.

You typically receive this message when:

  • The value in the HTTP entity field is structured as an expression; but the expression toggle is off.

  • The value in the (single- or multiple-file-upload) File Key fields is inaccurate or does not contain expressions although the Expression toggle is enabled.

  • The value in the (single- or multiple-file-upload) File Name fields contains special characters, such as (&, ^, and %).

Please check the values of Snap properties. Specifically:

  • Check whether your HTTP entity entry requires expressions. Update Snap settings as appropriate.

  • Check the value in the (single- or multiple-file-upload) File Key fields.

  • Check the value in the (single- or multiple-file-upload) Filename to be used fields.

{"http_status_code": 500, "response_map": {"error_list": [{"message": "Request to token endpoint Sign in to your account failed for account \"/Tenantidshared/Azure Sharepoint Account\" of type \"SharePoint Online Account\""}]}}

Client secret is expired.

Generate new Client secret.

Error 401

Provide a valid token and reauthorize the account.
