Sage 200 Online Contact XML

Information can be stored for multiple contacts against each customer account. Each contact can have its own details such as telephone numbers, fax numbers, email address and website. Note: In Sage 200 Standard, only one contact is supported. Further information can be found on the Sage 200 Online Contact API Documentation.

Tasks

Zynk does not currently support downloading or uploading contacts directly, but can be used within Sage 200 Online Customer XML as part of the export and import of customer records.

Read Only
The date and time this entity was last updated (UTC). This field is updated when a contact is uploaded using Zynk as well as when using the Sage 200 Online interface.

Expandable Fields

Related information linked to contacts are also included in the downloaded XML, and these can be used to set certain fields on contact uploads using lookups rather than needing to know the internal id of the related record.

salutation

Optional
The salutation to be used for the contact. On a download all the related information of the salutation will be included in the XML. On an upload you can set the code of the salutation to use for the contact and Zynk will lookup the correct internal id from Sage.

<salutation>
    <id>1</id>
    <date_time_updated>2015-10-30T22:33:25.81</date_time_updated>
    <code>Mr.</code>
    <description>Mr.</description>
    <is_default>false</is_default>
</salutation>

Upload example only setting the code

<salutation>
    <code>Mr.</code>
</salutation>
