# Create an OData Direct Submit

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a new OData Direct Submit record as a part of the Lasernet Connector configuration within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE).

An OData Direct Submit is an action button configured within Dynamics that has a predefined destination configured in the Lasernet Connector for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (FO). Data is received from the CE entities.

To create a new OData Direct Submit record, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Customer Engagement system. From the **Published Apps** menu, open the **Power Platform Environment Settings** app.

1. On the **Active Lasernet OData Direct Submits** page that opens, click **New**.
2. Fill in all the required fields, and then click **Save**.
3. In the **OData Submit Endpoint** text box, enter the URL composed of the Finance and Operations environment URL and the API interface to your Lasernet service. The latter is a fixed part, such as: `.../api/services/LACCRMServiceGroup/LACCRMReportExecuteService/executeReportPreDefined`

As a result, a new OData Direct Submit record is listed on the **Active Lasernet OData Direct Submits** page.
