Hello Everyone,

I am a beginner at MS Dynamics AX , and am stuck at something i.e. I want to call a menu item through a batch job through a menuFunction, I also have to pass the current record as an arg to the menu Item. I am using the following code for it,

Args args = new Args();

args.record(custPackingSlipJour);
menufunction = new MenuFunction(menuItemOutputStr(SalesPackingSlip), MenuItemType::Output);
menuFunction.run(args);

but it is giving me the error : Expected type is str whereas encountered type is date. The called from property of each of the class,menuitem is 'called from' .

P.S. The same code is working fine in a simple Job.

I am assuming a 2012 versions.
Have you done CIL-compile before running the batch job ?

Presumably you're trying to print or render to a file the specific CustPackingSlipJour record. Are you interested in some other ways to accomplish that without using MenuFunction?

I am trying to use print management(send emails to customers) through a batch job, my Menu Item item points to the Controller Class and I have tried to directly call that class but it is not working. What other way can I do it ?

Yes, you can call the controller class directly.

I have tried that but it gives me some other error i.e. something like - >No screen to show the report although I am not trying to show the report.

Take a look at the class EPSendDocument method makeDocument().

You probably want to use args.parmEnum(PrintCopyOriginal::OriginalPrint) instead, in which case the print settings probably shouldn't matter.

The code actually doesn't support Sales order or Free text invoices properly, but since you're doing a Sales order packing slip, it should work. I haven't done exactly what you're wanting, but I have generated directly to PDF files from X++ code in many, many projects using similar code.

Thanks.

Tried it, it gives the same error i.e. Cannot render the report to the screen when running in non-client mode . I dont want the report to show to screen.

If you navigate to the record in AX, using the Sales packing slip journals form, and click Print/Preview, then Use print management, what happens? Does it print to screen or send an e-mail?

It sends an email with packing slip attached and shows infolog confirming it.
