(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Dynamics 365 Busine... 700

Hi All,

I have two tables - Employee and Resource.

From the Employee table, I have to copy some fields(records) to the Resource table for the corresponding Employee.

The fields are - Employment Type, Date of Birth and Nationality.

How to achieve this ? I tried some ways but didn't get the result.

Please suggest.

    Through the user interface, or in code?

    If I recall correctly, there is some relationship mapping in the HR module for this...

    something like

    employee.reset;

    if employee.findfirst then

     repeat

       resource,reset;

       resource,setrange("no.",employee.no.)

       if resource.findset then begin

         resource.field := employee.field;//here you can put the fields that you want to be copied

         resource.modify(true);

       end;

     until employee.next=0;

    that depends on what you are trying to achieve, that is copied in each creation and / or modification of data or by a manual action, or in a job

    You need to give me more detail on what you are trying to do. How, when, why

    I tried your code for Employee No. and Resource No. fields. But it is not working.

    On the List Part page I created, I want to display the Employee No. (from Employee table) in place of Resource No. (from Resource table).

    Requirement - Displaying the employees for which 'Time Sheet Approver user ID' is same as the logged in user ID. Data is displayed from both tables. Just wanna replace Resource No. with the corresponding Employee No.
