To find the position of the last 3 letters of Customer No.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello,


NAV 2009 SP1:There is one scenario where I have to create a new field in Customer table called SAP code.

SAP code will represent combination of Customers’ first 3 letters/digits (without any spaces, dashes, dots, commas
and etc.) and last 3 digits from Customer number.
For example: if Customer’s name is 3-D Air and Customer’s Code is VM0T0000044, then SAP Code will look like this:
3DA044.

And this field has to be updated automatically on validating Customer No. and Name.

This is and urgent requirement so, can anyone tell me how to write the code for this as I am new to NAV?


Thank you in advance :)

    Hello pushpa,

    Just update your code like:

    Customer Table-NO. ONVALIDATE()

    //001

    txtName := DELCHR(Name,'=','-, .');  

    txtName := COPYSTR(txtName, 1 ,3);  

    "SAP Code" := txtName + COPYSTR("No.", (STRLEN("No.")-2) ,STRLEN("No."));

    //001

    I am satisfied with your answer Binesh but when i am writing the code in INSERT trigger in Customer Table I am getting only Customer No last 3 digits automatically Like:

    Customer Table-On INSERT()

    //001

    txtName := DELCHR(Name,'=','-, .');  

    txtName := COPYSTR("SAP Code", 1 ,3);  

    "SAP Code" := txtName + COPYSTR("No.", (STRLEN("No.")-2) ,STRLEN("No."));

    //001

    When I tried to create the new Customer Like

    No. = Hello

    before entering Customer name I am getting the SAP code value=LLO.

    and after entering "No." when I enter the Customer No. = abc123 the SAP code is not updating as ABCLLO.

    SAP Code is coming as LLO only.

    I am writing this code in table level because I have to save the value in Table Field also.

    If i write the code in Form it is possible to see the correct value in form.

    Please suggest me for this.

    Thank you in advance.

    IF recCustomer.GET(pCustomerNo) THEN

    BEGIN

           lrecSalesLine.RESET;

           lrecSalesLine.SETRANGE("Document Type",lrecSalesLine."Document Type"::Order);

           lrecSalesLine.SETRANGE("Sell-to Customer No.",pCustomerNo);

           lrecSalesLine.SETRANGE("Part/Unit",pItemTypeFilter);

           IF lrecSalesLine.FINDSET THEN

           BEGIN

             //REPEAT

                 IF (lrecSalesLine."Quantity Shipped" < lrecSalesLine.Quantity) THEN        ///Cursor is not coming here

                 BEGIN

                    recSalesTemp."No.":=lrecSalesLine."Document No.";

                    recSalesTemp.INSERT;

                 END;

            // UNTIL lrecSalesLine.NEXT=0;

           END;

    END;

    lrecSalesHeader.RESET;

    //lrecSalesHeader.COPYFILTERS(lrecSalesLine);

    lrecSalesHeader.VALIDATE("No.",recSalesTemp."No.");       //directly cursor comes here after sales line filteration

    IF lrecSalesHeader.FINDSET THEN

       ExpCallOffExistingOrder.SETTABLEVIEW(lrecSalesHeader);

       //MESSAGE('%1',recSalesTemp."No.");

    Hello Pushpa

    Write these code in Form OnAfterGetRecord Trigger.

    Form - OnAfterGetRecord()

    //>>#Sbinesh

    "SAP Code" := DELCHR(Name,'=','-, .');  //Removing special characters from name

    "SAP Code" := COPYSTR("SAP Code", 1 ,3);  // Copy first 3 chars from Name

    "SAP Code" := "SAP Code" + COPYSTR("No.", (STRLEN("No.")-2) ,STRLEN("No.")); // Copy last 3 chars from No.

    //<<#Sbinesh

    Here "SAP Code" is a Table field of Type Code  and Length is 50 in customer Table

    Size is 50 because it assign a  name data, you can also create a variable and assign, but if you don't want to create variable then put size as it Name field size.

    txtString:='VM0T0000044';

    MESSAGE(COPYSTR(txtString,STRLEN(txtString) - 2,3));

    I know with the help of COPY STRING and STRING POS we can do this but how to find the last 3 letters i am not getting as i don't know the exact length of Customer No.

    Like in Example the Customer No. is of 11 characters but it can be of 12 or more.

    So, for this i need code.
