## Post #1 by @irfansyed

Hi all,

I am currently testing the EMIS-X Partner API endpoint:

`POST /partner/api/v1/medicalRecord/FileRecord?patientNumber=3`

The patient number is valid, and we are able to retrieve organisation, user, location, and location type details from `GetOrganisation`.

However, when sending the `FileRecord` payload in JSON format, we receive the following error:

`500 - There was an error generating the XML document.`

I also tried sending an XML payload, but that returned:

`400 - An error occurred while deserializing input data.`

Has anyone faced this issue before with `FileRecord`?

Could someone please confirm the expected request body format for filing a simple text comment as a new consultation? A minimum valid JSON or XML example would be very helpful.

Thanks.
