Web Service Communication Log
The Logtrade Web Service Communication Log tracks all communication between Business Central and Logtrade. A log entry has a request and a response that both can be exported to XML files. Requests for methods designed for one single consignment are marked with consignment number in the log, while requests for methods that accept multiple consignments as critera does not have a consignemnt number in the log.
If you are in contact with our support, you should youse the action Create Support Request which opens an email with the xml-files for request and response from the log, so the support staff can see exactly what data that has been sent to the Logtrade API.
