Posted on by elhola 30

Hello,

I need to filter a column for a specific vendor when a vendor has been selected from another table.

The supplier is entered from another table "Purchase header".
How do I filter the Vendor Number column in the Purchase Line table? I tried various ways nothing helps. Code Units/extension of tables and pages_21043D0438043C043E043A04_-_4D043A04400430043D043004_-2023_2D00_05_2D00_10-_3204_-16.16.49.png

    I figured it out. you need to set a filter in the table extension

    trigger OnValidate()
    begin
    SETFILTER("Vendor No.", "Buy-from Vendor No.");
    end;

    Hi,
    If you want to filter the Vendor column in Purchase Line table based on the selected vendor in Purchase Header table, you can use the SetFilter method in AL like this
    YourCurrentRecord.SetFilter("Vendor No.", '=%1', PurchaseHeaderTable."Buy-from Vendor No.");
    This code sets a filter on the Vendor column using = operator and vendor no. selected in Purchase Header table, you can also use SetRange and other filter methods as well.. check out this documentation for more information learn.microsoft.com/.../record-setfilter-method & learn.microsoft.com/.../record-setrange-method
    I hope this helps!
    Regards
