Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a new vendor invoice in creation mode using this code :

PurchFormLetter_Invoice purch;
Args args;
FormRun run;

purch = PurchFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice);

purch.parmOpenMode(OpenMode::New);

args = new args(formStr("VendEditInvoice"));

args.caller(purch);

run = classFactory.formRunClass(args);

run.init();

run.run();

run.detach();

The form is not opening because there seems to be missing a parmId in the init() method of VendEditInvoice...

Hi,

Can you elaborate on your question? Where did you place this code? Do you get an error message? If so, please share the error.

I placed this code in the Main method of the VendInvoiceHeaderWorkflow class, so when I submit an invoice, I would like that a new one pops automatically and do so as long as I submit an invoice. There are no error message, I just noticed by debugging that the parmId in VendEditInvoice is empty and it opens a form that looks like this :

It looks like a mix between a vendor invoice and a listpage, which makes absolutely no sense.

Hi,

Please explain the business scenario. It seems you want to have a repeatable scenario. When someone finished entry of an invoice (by submitting to the workflow) it should start a new fresh invoice entry for the next invoice. Is this correct? Is this just because someone does not like to create a new record manually?

Have you considered how many forms will be open at the end of the day if you open a new form again and again?

Yes, when somebody will submit an invoice, it will start a new invoice. We are going to close the caller before opening the new one, this is why I used the run.detach() line, so we can close the parent and always have only one invoice opened at once.
