Additional information

The Exact Online Delete Snap supports the following:

  • DELETE operation to delete data in the Exact Online instance.
  • Dynamic loading of API metadata with a Parent-child dependency structure. This means that you can select an API object from the API Object field to view only entities that are related to the API object and support DELETE queries (delete operations).
