Verified steps

  1. Authenticate via POST /entity/auth/login with {name, password, tenant, branch} to establish a session cookie, or use OAuth 2.0 if configured.
  2. Discover the Manufacturing endpoint Swagger: GET /entity/Manufacturing/<version>/swagger.json where version is the contract version deployed in your instance (e.g., 23.200.001).
  3. Create a production order: PUT /entity/Manufacturing/<version>/ProductionOrder with a JSON body containing OrderType, InventoryID (finished good), Qty, UOM, WarehouseID, and BOMRevision.
  4. To release the production order (change status from Planned to Released), send a POST to the action endpoint or update the Hold field — consult your instance's Swagger for the exact action name (e.g., ReleaseProductionOrder action).
  5. Read back the created order: GET /entity/Manufacturing/<version>/ProductionOrder?$filter=OrderNbr eq '<nbr>' to retrieve the generated order number and status.
  6. Log out via POST /entity/auth/logout to invalidate the session cookie and avoid orphaned sessions that consume Acumatica user license slots.
