7.1 Create an Expense Payment

Using API

1. Make an Expense Payment in ERP.

2. The ERP Connector pulls the Expense Payment from ERP.

3. The ERP Connector should post the Expense Payment to Coupa.

4. Validate that the Expense Report is updated correctly in Coupa.

PUT

https://<instance>/api/expense_reports/<id>

Payload

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<expense-report>
  <payment>
    <notes>Test</notes>
    <payment-date type="dateTime">2016-09-17T00:00:00-04:00</payment-date>
  </payment>
</expense-report>

Note that the Coupa Best Practice is to store the Coupa Expense Report ID in the ERP Connector/ERP, so the Expense Payment can be made directly without querying Coupa for the Expense Report ID. If not saved in the ERP Connector/ERP, and additional step is required to API GET the Expense Report ID.
