Block UnApproved Purch Order Printing

Posted on by Anita75 1,159

Hi All,

I'm trying to stop un-approved purchase order from being printed via code. And tried below code but doesn't seem to work:

actions
    {
        modify("&Print")
        {
            Caption = 'PO Print';
            trigger OnBeforeAction()
            var
                PurchaseHeader: Record "Purchase Header";

            begin
                IF PurchaseHeader.Status <> PurchaseHeader.Status::"Pending Approval" THEN Begin
                    PurchaseHeader := Rec;
                    CurrPage.SetSelectionFilter(PurchaseHeader);
                    PurchaseHeader.PrintRecords(true);
                End
                else
                    ERROR('Purchase order has not been approved');

            end;

    This worked:

               begin

                   PurchaseHeader := Rec;

                   IF PurchaseHeader.Status = PurchaseHeader.Status::"Pending Approval" THEN

                       ERROR('Purchase order has not been approved')

                   else

                       CurrPage.SetSelectionFilter(PurchaseHeader);

                   PurchaseHeader.PrintRecords(true);

    It’s the placement of the error that might need changing. The selectionfilter is fine for the print command. I think you should do a if findset on the filter criteria before doing the print. The selection filter will have many records to loop through so the error command in isolation probably doesn’t pick up on that. There are more sophisticated error trapping methods if passed to a relevant codeunit

    Hi,

    For which page have you written this code. Look like you have written it for List page. What is the problem you are getting. Can you elaborate?
