GP2013, eConnect, and a locked form

Hey there,

I'm creating a new payment entry screen (using VST) that will open off of the current GP sales order entry screen. When on this new screen, payment details will be entered by the user and a payment record will then be created for the order using eConnect. The problem is, when I try to update the order entity using eConnect, I get an error saying that the form is locked by another user. Of course, that "other user" is me since the order entry form is open behind the payment entry screen.

Is there a way to override this form lock? My dirty solution is to close the form, run the eConnect transaction, and then re-open the form. Is that the only way to solve this issue?

Thanks!

-Nathan

Close the form, run the eConnect Transaction and re-open the form. This is the only solution to accomplish to your requirement. Other wise if you try to clear the locked record from the opened window, this is against the standard GP logic. I would not recommend you to break the GP logic.

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks for the response! In order to add the payment record to the order you have pulled up, I have to update the order using the SOPTransactionType object in eConnect. So yes, VST is updating the order at that time. Here's the relevant code:

var header = new taSopHdrIvcInsert { SOPNUMBE = sopNumber, SOPTYPE = (short) sopType, BACHNUMB = order.BatchNumber, CUSTNMBR = customerNumber, DOCDATE = order.OrderDate.ToShortDateString(), DOCID = order.DocumentID, PYMTRCVD = payment.Amount, UpdateExisting = 1 }; taCreateSopPaymentInsertRecord_ItemsTaCreateSopPaymentInsertRecord paymentLine = CreateCreditCardPaymentLine(sopNumber, sopType, order, customerNumber, payment); var transactionType = new SOPTransactionType { taSopHdrIvcInsert = header, taCreateSopPaymentInsertRecord_Items = new[] {paymentLine} }; var eConnect = new eConnectType {SOPTransactionType = new[] {transactionType}}; return base.UpdateTransactionEntity(eConnect);

And here's the error text:

Thanks again!

Hi Nathan,

Something about your description doesn't sound quite right. To the best of my knowledge, eConnect isn't aware of forms or form locks.

Are you sure you don't have some VST code that is trying to reference, read, or update the order form?

Can you paste the relevant lines of your code that trigger the error, and/or the full text of any error message you are receiving?
