Custom Fields Not Transferring from Purchase Header to Posted Documents

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TAHER_El_Mehdi 839

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to transfer two custom fields from the Purchase Header table to the posted documents (Purch. Rcpt. Header and Purch. Inv. Header) during the posting process.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • I created the custom fields on all related tables:

    • Source: Purchase Header

    • Destinations: Purch. Rcpt. Header and Purch. Inv. Header

  • I used the same field IDs and matching data types across all tables

However, after posting, the values from the Purchase Header are not transferred to the posted documents.

Am I missing something in the standard posting process?

Do I need to explicitly handle this transfer in code (e.g., using events or subscribers), or should it work automatically?

Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance

    This should work if the same Field ID and data type have been used. Please double-check your code to ensure consistency. If the issue still persists, try debugging the exact logic in the base application where the TransferFields function is being called.

    Additionally, verify whether any other customizations or event triggers might be interfering and causing this issue.
