Data entity update error in initializeEntityDataSource() for multiple company

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by tyhj 625

I have a new data entity which main table has SaveDataPerCompany = No, and it has joined data source to inventDim which is company specific. 

During update, in the initializeEntityDataSource() method, during the super call, it is calling those initialize data source for each one added in the data entity. So for inventDim, i got the following error when the record is not in my current company: 
Cannot locate data source record of type InventDim with RecId 5637177617. Entity name: xxx, RecId: 5637197827, Database operation: Update.

inventDim data will not be updated for my business scenario, if i remove the super call, the whole entity record is not updated which is not the case i want.   

Is there a way that i can skip the initialize data source for inventDim ?

    Hi SLC,

    i have a couple of questions here -

    1. If the main table has "SaveDataPerCompany = No", how is it linked to InventDim. It can't be based on the InventDimId only as InventDim is company Specific.

    2. In case InventDim does not need to be updated, have you tried setting "IsReadOnly" property to "True" for InventDim data source?

    Hi Gunjan,

    1. Main table has a legalEntity field, inventDim datasource is linked by the inventDimId, and InventDimId.DataAreaId with the main table legalEntity field. But in the data entity I'm using an unmapped field string for the field because during insert I need to import data other than the current legal entity.

    I have checked this post - docs.microsoft.com/.../cross-company-behavior

    but not applicable to me as I do not have the "dataAreaId" field.

    2. I've just try to change the property but seem like no difference.

    Just an update to this question, I have changed my data entity to remove the InventDim data source, then add the invent fields as unmapped string field and handle the data mapping through code, its working fine.
