It is my understanding that the post event handler will work in case you what to do something after the event, right? I have implemented other post event handlers in the past and if the event fails it did no hit the post event handler, which is what I would expect, except that in the VendEditInvoice Post postInvoice Event Handler it does not happen this way.

I want to update the status of a record in my table only if the invoice is posted, so I program this in the Post postInvoice Event Handler. As I debug, I discover that the post event handler is hit and then the invoice fails to post!

Is this really the expected behavior? If so, witch event should I use to update my record status?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Emilio,

Did you extend the correct method here? Probably the error is raised in another method which you didn't extend?

Nikolaos,

Thanks for you post. The problem is, as I try to explain in my first post, that the event handler is executed even if an exceptions happened in the standard method. My problem is that the exception happens after the event handler has been hit!

The event handler will be executed if no exceptions happened in the standard method. The standard method might show some errors but still not throw an exception. And in that case your event handler code will be executed.

So you need to add some logic in your event handler to find out if the invoice was really posted or not.

Hi Sukrut.

I do not understand what do you mean with "Can you please provide information about where you wrote this event handler". I copy the event handler and paste it i a class.

as for the SalesInvoiceJournalPost is for CustomerInvoice and the VendEditInvoice is for VendorInvoice

Thanks for your help

Thanks for you post André.

The thing is that when the post event handler gets hit I register the Invoice as successfully posted, and then by other circumstances a for example a bad financial dimension combination the invoice fails to post, but I am not aware of it because the post event handler has already been hit.

Did this clarify in some way?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi Emilio ,

From what you said it looks like your event handler is getting called before invoice posting status. Is that the case ? Can you please provide information about where you wrote this event handler ? Instead you should look at class SalesInvoiceJournalPost

Hi Emilio,

Can you provide some details on what exactly you have done here? What do you mean with: "As I debug, I discover that the post event handler is hit and then the invoice fails to post!"? Is the posting of the invoice completed and in your post event there is an action that it actually still fails?
