Work with Custom FoodChain ID Fields

If you add custom fields to FoodChain ID, you need to complete certain steps in order to bring the data into Business Central.

Note

These steps do not apply to the required fields that have already been set up in the APIs and mappings.

Add Fields to FoodChain ID

1. Add the custom fields to FoodChain ID.

   Contact your FoodChain ID representative for information on adding custom fields.

Update the API configuration

You need to update the API configuration to bring in the custom fields that were added to FoodChain ID.

1. Choose the icon, enter FoodChain ID Connector Setup, and then choose the related link.

2. On the FoodChain ID Connector Setup page, select one of the following:

   • Integration > Ingredient
   • Integration > Packaging
   • Integration > Finished Good
   • Integration > Finished Good Recipe
   • Integration > Recipe

3. On the API Configuration Card page, populate the following field:

   Field	Description
   API Body	Update the API to include the custom fields added to FoodChain ID.

   Tip

   Create an advanced search in FoodChain ID that includes the fields you want import into Business Central. Then, select the Code button from the Search screen, and copy the code into the API Body FastTab on the Business Central API Configuration Card page. This will allow you to import the data listed in FoodChain ID's advanced search.

   You can restore the default API body by selecting Load Default API Body.

Update the field mappings

You need to map the custom fields to Business Central fields.

1. Select New to add a new line when mapping fields and add the new FoodChain ID field and its Business Central equivalent.
