REST API - execute multiple actions

Currently trying to work out how to use REST API to execute an action. I added the ReverseInvoice action from Bills screen on my endpoints. And seems execute fine. Unfortunately, executing an action does not return a result e.g. 204 No Content. I'd wish to extract the RefNbr of the Debit Adj. raised.

enter image description here

Second problem is how do you stack actions or call series of actions ? The raised Debit Adj is not Released. So it seems ReverseInvoice & Release need to be executed at the same time. Plus, I also need them to be allocated against each other automatically.

I've got a feeling the REST API is not the way to go with this one.

Cheers and thanks for responses.

Unfortunately, you're correct on both points: Acumatica's Contract-based API (both SOAP and REST flavors) doesn't allow you to get the entity that is a result of an action (you can only get the status of action invocation), and if you want to chain a sequence of action you'll have to do that manually from the client (call one action, check for the status, call the second one, check, raise, rinse, repeat). Or you can write a customization with a custom action that call two actions in sequence, and call that from the API.
