    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_erp_integration.erp_admin

    You must have already added the read, write, or create operation before you can add an entity to it. For more information, see Add an operation to a model in Zero Copy Connector for ERP.

    The REST endpoint table must be populated with any services you want to add using the AI search method.

    For an overview of the REST API connector, see Rest API for Zero Copy Connector for ERP.

    For information about the REST API connector tables added for Zero Copy Connector for ERP, see REST API connector for Zero Copy Connector for ERP tables.

    Note:
    Many REST APIs return deeply nested JSON objects. The connector supports up to three levels of nesting in response mapping. You can define nested levels for both input parameters and output fields in the Model Manager UI.
