Hi,

Here is the code for creating a record using OData and Jquery in CRM 2011/2013/2015.

Let us take the example of creating Account record.

• Create a JS and add it in Account entity.
• Copy and Paste the below code. I have covered the basic attributes which you can change according to your requirement.

    //Create an object to represent an Account record and set properties
    var account = new Object();
    // Set Single Line of Text field
    account.Name = “Testing Odata”;
    // Set Lookup field (Contact should exists in the system)
    var primaryContact = new Object();
    primaryContact.ContactId = “B5A0F1C2-7CF5-E411-80D5-C4346BAC59E8”;
    primaryContact.FullName = “Rene Valdes (sample)”;
    if (primaryContact != null) {
        account.PrimaryContactId = { Id: primaryContact.ContactId, LogicalName: “contact”, Name: primaryContact.FullName };
    }
    //Set a picklist value
    account.PreferredContactMethodCode = { Value: 2 };
    // Set a money value (i.e., Annual Revenue)
    account.Revenue = { Value: “2000000.00” };
    // Set a Decimal field (Here ‘new_DecimalField’ is my custom Account field)
    account.new_DecimalField = 200.00.toString();
    // Set a Boolean value
    account.DoNotPhone = true;
    // Set Date field (Here ‘new_DateField’ is my custom Account field)
    //var myDate = new Date();
    //myDate.setFullYear(1980, 12, 29);
    //account.new_Date = myDate;
    // Call create method by passing
    //(i) Entity Object (i.e.,account in this case)
    //(ii) Entity Set
    //(iii)SuccessCallback function
    //(iv) Error callback function
    createRecord(account, “AccountSet”, createAccountCompleted, null);
}

// callback method which will get executed on successfull account creation
function createAccountCompleted(data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
    var account = data;
    alert(“Account created; Id: “ + account.AccountId.toString());
}

• Call createAccount function on the Load of Account.
• Create JQuery and JSON files as web resources and them on Account Form.
• Save and Publish.

Hope this helps
