Hello - I need to make a field mandatory on the unconfirmed products receipts page of the EP 2012. I'm not sure if this is as easy as going to the AOT and making the field mandatory in the web parts or it needs a developer code. I have looked around in the AOT and couldn't find the appropriate object in "Web Files". I'd appreciate it if anyone can provide some guidance.

Thanks,

Farokh

Hi Farokh,

When the field must be set to mandatory for all legal entities on this table regardless it is from EP or the AX client, you can make the field mandatory in the AOT.

Hi Farokh,

For field to be mandatory you can set the property on the following path :

1.On Table field you can make field mandatory.

2.On Dataset of that user control you can make field mandatory.

3.On UserWebControl you can make field mandatory.

Arun

Hi Andre, Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the table in the AOT and the field is actually set to be mandatory but for some reason it's not mandatory in the EP.

I found the web control "EPPurchCORReceive" for the unconfirmed product receipts in the AOT and I just now need to figure out how to make the field mandatory by modifying the code.

the part of the code that relates to the field that I need to make mandatory is:

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editReceiptId**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS342654%>"/>

Below is the complete code:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="EPPurchCORReceive.ascx.cs" Inherits="EPPurchCORReceive" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal, Version=6.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

Namespace="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.UI.WebControls" TagPrefix="dynamics" %>

<%@ Register Src="AxBaseUserControl.ascx" TagName="AxBaseUserControl" TagPrefix="Ax" %>

<dynamics:AxDataSource ID="dsEPPurchCORReceive" runat="server" DataSetName="EPPurchCORReceive"/>

<dynamics:AxForm ID="AxForm" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsEPPurchCORReceive" DataMember="PurchLine_Current"

AutoGenerateEditButton="true" DefaultMode="Edit" >

<table>

<tr>

<td>

<asp:Label ID="lblInitialText" runat="server" Text="<%$ axlabel:@SYS332466%>"></asp:Label>

</td>

</tr>

<tr style="height:5"><td></td></tr>

<tr>

<td>

<asp:Label ID="lblText" runat="server" Text="<%$ axlabel:@SYS332467%>"></asp:Label>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

<dynamics:AxGroup ID="AxGroup" runat="server" Caption="<%$ axlabel:@SYS59970%>">

<Fields>

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editRemainPurchPhysical**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS303371%>"/>

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editReceiptId**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS342654%>"/>

<dynamics:AxCheckBoxBoundField DataField="editCloseLine**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS303372%>"/>

</Fields>

</dynamics:AxGroup>

<dynamics:AxGroup ID="AssetGroup" runat="server" Caption="<%$ axlabel:@SYS25653%>" Visible="false">

<Fields>

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editAssetName**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS7399%>" />

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editMake**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS67389%>"/>

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editModel**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS9923%>" />

<dynamics:AxBoundField DataField="editSerialNumber**" DataSet="dsEPPurchCORAction" DataSetView="PurchLine" HeaderText="<%$ axlabel:@SYS477%>" />

</Fields>

</dynamics:AxGroup>

</dynamics:AxForm>

I hope someone can help me make this change.

Farokh
