Goodbye salesorder-endpoints, hello Sales Order Service

[#1]

Many of you have already seen, and some also started to use the new Visma.net Sales Order Service API to create and get information about salesorders in Visma.net Financials since we released the first version of the API in august of 2021. 

The new API is the first part of our strategy to separate the existing Visma.net Financials API into smaller and more focused services for each part of the application.

The benefits of the new APIs are many. First of all the performance of the new APIs is on a whole different planet compared to the existing API, we see improvements of more than 20 times the performance when using the new API. The security of the new APIs are also significantly improved since we now use the Visma Connect authentication service for securing the access. The structure of the new APIs are also simpler to understand, and easier to program against.

Since the first release, we have been constantly improving and extending the functionality of the Sales Order Service API, and we will continue to do so at a rapid pace with multiple new releases every week. You can follow the release-notes here.  

Today the functionality of  getting and creating salesorders are complete enough that every integration should be able to switch to the new API. This is why we now have started to plan the removal of the salesorder endpoints in the existing Visma.net Financials API. We know that changing all of your integrations, especially those using the important salesorder-endpoint are not a task that is done in a jiffy. So don’t worry, you still have time. In the current plan, we will start deprecating the old endpoints in 1st of June 2023. 

Update: Move of breaking change Due date for Sales order v1 and v2

But please do not wait too long, the API is ready to use, and we would really want you to start moving over your integrations as soon as you can and start taking advantage of the benefits.

We’ve created a guide for you on how to get started with the new API, have a look and get started today.

You’ll also find the documentation here.

Happy coding!
