Forcing the Name field of a salesline to be synchronized to the purchline when using Drop shipment

Using non-stock items in the daily business can be handled in Dynamics AX 2012 by using Direct delivery.

You can use the Button "Direct delivery" from a sales order you have created, to create a matching purchase order.

However if you use the Name field on the salesline to describe the specifications of the item you want to the vendor, the standard functionality does create the matching purchase order lines so that the name of the originating sales line is also used on the sales lines.

Direct deliveries are handled so that the inventory transactions of the salesline are marked against the purchline, so I wrote this small script to be able to get the hang of how to find the direct delivery purchaselines from the saleslines records of a sales order.

static void Job235(Args _args)
{
    SalesLine   salesLine;
    PurchLine   purchLine;
    InventTransOriginSalesLine itosl;
    InventTransOriginPurchLine itopl;
    InventTrans it,it1;
    InventTable iTbl;
    InventHandlingGroup ihg;
   
   
    ttsBegin;
    while select salesLine
        where salesLine.SalesId == "1001135"
        join itosl
        where itosl.SalesLineDataAreaId == salesLine.dataAreaId
           && itosl.SalesLineInventTransId == salesLine.InventTransId
        join it
            where it.InventTransOrigin == itosl.InventTransOrigin
        join it1
            where it1.InventTransOrigin == it.MarkingRefInventTransOrigin
        join itopl
            where itopl.PurchLineDataAreaId == it1.dataAreaId
               && itopl.InventTransOrigin == it1.InventTransOrigin
        join forupdate purchLine
            where purchLine.dataAreaId == itopl.PurchLineDataAreaId
               && purchLine.InventTransId == itopl.PurchLineInventTransId
               && purchLine.Name != salesLine.name
        join itbl
            where itbl.itemid == salesLine.ItemId
         
    {       
        info("***** FØR ********");
        info(strFmt("Salg: %1 %2 %3 %4",salesLine.SalesId,salesLine.ItemId,salesLine.LineNumber,salesLine.name));
        info(strFmt("Indkøb: %1 %2 %3 %4",purchLine.purchid,purchLine.ItemId,purchLine.LineNumber,purchLine.name));
        purchLine.Name = salesLine.Name;
        purchLine.doUpdate();
        info("***** EFTER ********");
        info(strFmt("Salg: %1 %2 %3 %4",salesLine.SalesId,salesLine.ItemId,salesLine.LineNumber,salesLine.name));
        info(strFmt("Indkøb: %1 %2 %3 %4",purchLine.purchid,purchLine.ItemId,purchLine.LineNumber,purchLine.name));
    }
    ttsCommit;
}


With this code at hand I could continue to customize the PurchAutoCreate_Sales class to sync the names of the salesLines to the purchLines.

Indicating mandatory field in a dialog (RunBase) class.

A classical problem is indicating that a field is mandatory in a dialog, when the field is not bound to a datasource/field in a datasource. Normally fellow developers will tell you that, that is not possible. I found a way to do this. In your Runbase-based class you can implement the putToDialog-method e.g like this: protected void putToDialog() { super(); fieldMask.fieldControl().mandatory(true); } where fieldMask is a DialogField object in your dialog. This will make the field act like it was a mandatory field from a datasource in a form, showing a red-wavy line under the field, and requiring the field to have a value. Attention: Your class has to run on the client.If you set your class to run on the server, you get a run-time error, when the fieldMask.FieldControl()-call is made.

Suppressing the infolog

Supressing the infolog is often useful in D365FO when augmenting code. When augmenting code using COC (Chain Of Command), you can have new code run either before or after the code you are augmenting. This means that any infolog-messages that the standard application code does, will be shown to the user, even if your augmentation supports a scenario where there must be no infolog-messages. How do you avoid the standard application infolog-messages ? To the rescue comes temporary supression of the infolog. The suppression consists of: 1) Saving the current infologLevel 2) Setting the infologLevel to SysInfologLevel::None 3) Run your code 4) Restoring the saved infologLevel to the infolog For example a table could have a validatewrite-method that validates that you are only allowed to use 3 out of 6 options in an enum-field, and you need to allow for a fourth one. Table a - validateWrite method: boolean validateWrite() {     Switch (this.enumField)     {     ...

ProcessGuide framework

I was tasked with developing a custom "process" for printing ad hoc labels in the Dynamics 365SCM WHS app. WHS process guide - development docs Reading the great articles from 1clickfactory (starting point  https://www.1clickfactory.com/blog/advanced-whs-mobile-device-development-part-1-process-guide-framework/) gives a good starting point. Especially Edgaras' tip on running  SysExtensionCache::clearAllScopes();  in a runnable class after introducing a new step/pagebuilder class combination  is VERY useful. And of course Microsoft's own documentation ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/warehousing/process-guide-framework ) also helps. However, I wanted to chip in with a couple of things. Extending WHS base enums If you extend the WHSActivity, WHSWorkExecuteMode or WHSWorktransType base enums with new options it is a good idea to run a database synchronization when you are done with extending them. Otherwise you might be frustrated to find, th...
