Not able to create entries with decimal attributes

[AshishAnand]

for the below payload Im getting the following error:

{
“ProductID”: “AD-1000”,
“TypeCode”: “AD”,
“Category”: “Computer system accessories”,
“Availability_Status”: “Out of stock”,
“Name”: “Portable DVD player”,
“NameLanguage”: “EN”,
“Description”: “Flyer for our product palette”,
“DescriptionLanguage”: “EN”,
“SupplierID”: “0100000000”,
“SupplierName”: “SAP”,
“TaxTarifCode”: “1”,
“MeasureUnit”: “EA”,
“CurrencyCode”: “EUR”,
“WeightMeasure”: “4.9M”
}

{
“error”: {
“code”: null,
“message”: “Error while deserializing payload. An error occurred during deserialization of the entity. A JSON number is not supported as Edm.Decimal value.”
}
}

WeightMeasure is of type WeightMeasure : Decimal(13, 3);

Could you please help me here?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ashish,

Property Values of type Odata EDM.Decimal and EDM.Int64 must be of type JSON Strings and not Number. Reason is that the value range of EDM.Decimal and JSON Number is larger than JavaScript Number. This avoids data loss during the parsing step.

Do you have an example of how could I specify it's a JSON String? My payload currently is:

{
    "secuence": 1,
    "flagDel": false,
    "datePro": "2020-02-26",
    "datePay": "2020-02-26",
    "payAmt": "2.00",
[...]
}

And the response is:

{
    "error": {
        "code": null,
        "message": "Error while deserializing payload. An error occurred during deserialization of the entity. A JSON number is not supported as Edm.Decimal value."
    }
}

Thanks
