Primitive values of type 'Edm.Decimal' and 'Edm.Int64' must be quoted in the payload. Make sure the value is quoted.

Hi, I am trying to create entity, but I am getting exceptions about Edm.Decimal. I think the problem is the Price attribute. I have tried almost everything:

self.Price = BigDecimal(500)
self.Price = 500
self.Price = "500"

module Idoklad
  class IssuedInvoiceItem < Entity

    attr_accessor :InvoiceId, :Name, :Amount, :Unit, :Price, :PriceType, :VatRateType

    def initialize(item)
      self.Price = BigDecimal(500)
      self.Name = "HP tiskarna"
      self.Amount = 5
      self.PriceType = 1
      self.Unit = "Kus"
      self.VatRateType = 1
    end
  end
end

I am still getting this error:

Any ideas? Thx

Here you can find service metadata: https://app.idoklad.cz/odataservice.svc/$metadata Thx

[visoft]

Did you try self.Price = "500.00"

[tomaswitek]

I found the problem:

self.Price = "500"
self.Amount = "5"

These variables have to be quoted. Thx
