Posted on by @rp@n 56

Dear All,

I saw in Sales Table. There are lot of initFrom methods are there. Can you please let me know when initfrom method it's actually called?

For example : initFromCustTable OR initFromSalesQuotationTable.

    Hi,

    Initfrom methods have code to default specific set of fields from one table to other like if you check initfromcusttable, it is called  when customer is selected on sales order header and to copy specific fields from custtable to salestable.Likewise each method has a specific context like initfronsalesquotation is called when sales quotation is converted to sales order and so on.

    Yes, It's showing me

    Path, Line, Column, Application Object Type, Application Object name, Type name and Reference.

    Here Application Object Type is the exact place means (initfromCustTable) is called from there ?

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I suggest to place breakpoint in the initFromCustTable method, define/select order account on the sales order and perform debugging as  this method gets called at different places for different business requirements.
