Union Query

Posted on by HAIRUL HAZRI 1,214

Hi. I have three queries with these paths and I want to union them:

  • GeneralJournalAccountEntry -> GeneralJournalEntry -> VendTrans -> VendInvoiceJour -> VendInvoiceTrans
  • GeneralJournalAccountEntry -> GeneralJournalEntry -> CustTrans -> CustInvoiceJour -> CustInvoiceTrans
  • GeneralJournalAccountEntry -> GeneralJournalEntry -> LedgerJournalTrans

I created three separate views for each query then I plan to union them in another view.

My problem is, I want to include PurchId column from VendInvoiceJour table in the union view

but only the first path contains PurchId column. 

Since union will only work for same field and same data type, how can I include empty PurchId column in CustTrans and LedgerJournalTrans path? Simply create an empty PurchId column in the view won't work.

Thank You

    Include a similar field of the same type and length.  For branch 2, include SalesId, and for branch 3 include JournalNum.

    Hi Brandon.

    But that will include the SalesId and JournalNum values right. I don't need the SalesId and JournalNum values. I only need the PurchId then for the branch 2 and 3 the PurchId should be empty.

    Can I achieve that?

    Hi,

    please try with below solutions and should solve your problem.

    create one compute column for PurchId(same Type and stringSize) in View2 and View3 and return empty string (" ") or whatever values you want for your reference.

    Then add one 'string compute column' field and assign view method for this field.

    after you can create Union views......let me know if any issues.

    sample compute column code:

    public static server str returnBlankString()

    {

       return SysComputedColumn::returnLiteral('');

    }

    please mark it as answer if it solved problem and it may help to others to get quick solutions.

    Thanks,
