Copy Fixed Asset AL issue.

Posted on by Romryan

Hi All,

I need to customize the Copy Fixed asset action such that when one click Copy Fixed Asset, the newly created asset will leave blank the field for serial since it's a unique field.

I have checked the default code and I have realized that it's a report. After reviewing this report, I haven't seen any place it's attempting to insert serial.

What's the best way to achieve my goal.?

I got what you mean now.

You can use the below subscriber to make it blank.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Report, Report::"Copy Fixed Asset", 'OnOnPreReportOnBeforeFA2Insert', '', false, false)]

local procedure OnOnPreReportOnBeforeFA2Insert(var FixedAsset2: Record "Fixed Asset"; var FixedAsset: Record "Fixed Asset");

begin

FixedAsset2."Serial No." := '';

end;

It seems that the event Mohana mentioned is not available in the version you are using.

Mohana,

Thanks for enlightenment I have replaced OnOnPreReportOnBeforeFA2Insert with OnAfterFixedAssetCopied and it has worked. I have also added

FixedAsset2.Modify().

I am closing this case.
