Data Model
The provider exposes tables for every entity set and singleton defined on the SAP Business One Service Layer root URL. Entities on these tables may be inserted, updated, or deleted using standard SQL insert, update, or delete statements.
Executing Deep Inserts with SQL
The provider supports OData deep inserts, in which you simultaneously create a base entity and link it to related entities, by specifying navigation properties. To specify Navigation Properties for an entity, you create a temporary table for the navigation property and then reference the temporary table in the insert to the base table. Reference the temporary table in the appropriate navigation property column on the base table. Each navigation property column is prefixed with the word "Linked".
Note that you must define the temporary tables and insert to the base entity within the same connection.
