Remove $id from Custom Web Service JSON – Dynamics 365 F&O

Priority-Based Throttling in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O, SCM) is almost mandatory!  If your solution or integration architecture included the transaction orchestration being done outside of F&O (multiple OData calls within a transaction; rollback means making more OData calls), one of the things you can do to adjust it is to create a custom web service in F&O, which would handle an entire transaction.

It is easy to develop a custom web service in F&O by creating the following objects:

• Class with public method
• Service
• Service Group
• Security Privilege
• Contract classes, as needed
• SysTest (ATL) class(es), as much as desire allows

When you want to have a list of objects, you create a DataContract class and return it as a list (see line 22 below).

Ugh, what are these unnecessary $id fields?

Rid yourself of this unnecessary data and bandwidth hog- Use the following decorator on your contract classes to remove those (as seen in above screen shot).
