How to recreate the functionality of "Create item from Item No"

Posted on by BBC_dhanvi 140
Hello, I have another table in which I want to implement the functionality of creating a new item card (or other table item) from typing it into (similar to) sales line.
I have a logic in mind which goes as follows
1. after typing into the line column, it will check the existing table for the item whether it exists or not
2. if it does not exists then it will provide a prompt message whether you want to create new item with that name
3. the typed name should be used as the primary key on creation of new item, it should not take the default number series.
4. it open up the card for filling up of further details
5. once done other related fields will get populated into the line
 
please suggest some references to get idea to work up with the code.

    How to recreate the functionality of "Create item from Item No"
    Hi 

    You can use the below to achive your requirement 
     
     GetSalesSetup();
     DefaultCreate := ("No." = '') and SalesSetup."Create Item from Description";
    if Item.TryGetItemNoOpenCard(
      ReturnValue, Description, DefaultCreate, not GetHideValidationDialog(), true)
    then
    case ReturnValue of
        '':
         begin
            LookupRequested := true;
            Description := xRec.Description;
         end;
       "No.":
            Description := xRec.Description;
          else begin
            CurrFieldNo := FieldNo("No.");
            Validate("No.", CopyStr(ReturnValue, 1, MaxStrLen(Item."No.")));
          end;
    end;

    Hello,

    this what you described is very similar to Create Item from Item No. functionality and maybe the only difference between native functionality and the steps that you are listed is the 3. step where you want to use Name as PK, instead of No. series defined for selected Item Template. You can try using native functionality and set No. series, that will be linked with Item Template as Manual Nos., so that after populating Default Nos. you can change the No. on the Item Card. Since it is a new item you will have no problem with changing No. series.
