Hello,

I have a requirement to add a button on a custom form which will open the SalesCreateOrder form (to create a new sales order).

There is a custom customer account (TSTCustAccount) setup in CustParameters which the form needs to automatically initialize with.

I have added a new boolean parm method in the class extension of SalesTableForm.

I have added a new button in my custom form and added the following codes in the clicked method :

SalesTableForm salesTableForm = SalesTableForm::construct(SalesTableFormId::None, null);
salesTableForm.tstParmTest(true);
salesTableForm.create();

I have then added a logic in the post init of the SalesCreateOrder form extension:

if (salesTableForm.tstParmTest())
{
CustParameters tstCustParameters = CustParameters::find();

if (tstCustParameters.TSTCustAccount)
{
SalesTable.CustAccount(tstCustParameters.TSTCustAccount);
SalesTable.modifiedField(fieldNum(SalesTable, CustAccount));
}

}

However, the customer account field is still empty.

I have tried doing in the SalesTable_DS.initValue, but it is still empty.

Is there another way to do this particular requirement?

Initialize CustAccount in SalesCreateOrder form

Hello Martin,
I have tried it and it did not work.
I have tried another approach and it seems to work fine.

CustParameters tstCustParameters = CustParameters::find();

SalesTableForm salesTableForm = SalesTableForm::construct(SalesTableFormId::None, null);
salesTableForm.tstParmTest(true);

salesTableForm.custAccount(CustParameters.TSTCustAccount);
salesTableForm.create();

I have added an override of the SalesTableForm.initValues() as follows.

next initValues();

if (this.tstParmTest() && SalesTable.CustAccount)

{

//call logic to initialise standard fields as per customer selected

SalesTable.modifiedField(fieldNum(SalesTable, CustAccount));

}

Initialize CustAccount in SalesCreateOrder form

init() method of a form just initialized form controls, data source objects etc., but no data is loaded and no new record is created at the moment. That happens later, when the form is actually executed.

A good method for your purpose is initValue() and the data source, which is called when a new record is being created. But don't extend it; instead, look at what code it already contains. It calls initValues() of SalesTableForm, but we won't extend that either. We can see that this method takes the value of CustAccount from custAccount(), which is a parameter method.

When we look at where the custAccount value is used, we'll find that we can simply pass it to create() method:

SalesTableForm salesTableForm = SalesTableForm::construct(SalesTableFormId::None, null); salesTableForm.create(CustParameters::find().TSTCustAccount);
