Hi,
I am working with Dynamics 365 instance. If I am not wrong 'SetStateRequest' will be deprecated and 'UpdateRequest' should be used instead. I am trying to reactivate a Paid (Completed) invoice.
But with following 'UpdateRequest' it throws an error "The entity cannot be updated because it is read-only".
Share
Report var invoiceToUpdate = new Entity("invoice", new Guid("D9588C16-EA18-E611-80E4-000D3A2362ED"));
invoiceToUpdate["statecode"] = new OptionSetValue(0);
invoiceToUpdate["statuscode"] = new OptionSetValue(1);
UpdateRequest request = new UpdateRequest()
{
Target = invoiceToUpdate
};
orgService.Execute(request);
But it works if I try 'SetStateRequest' as below:
SetStateRequest setStateRequest = new SetStateRequest()
{
EntityMoniker = new EntityReference
{
Id = new Guid("D9588C16-EA18-E611-80E4-000D3A2362ED"),
LogicalName = "invoice",
},
State = new OptionSetValue(0),
Status = new OptionSetValue(1)
};
orgService.Execute(setStateRequest);
Can anyone please explain why it works with a deprecated message but not with Suggested Method.
Thanks

Probably I am too late, but it could help someone in the future. I had exact same issue. But later I found out that my Invoice was missing Payment Date value. In worst case scenario you can update this field with using sql update (if on-premise, I know we should not do this), then SetStateRequest will work, either from console app or you can create ondemand workflow and use Change State step.
Hi,
Some system entities art imutable and cannot be updated when closed - even by the sdk. The ones I know about are quote, contract & invoice.
Hi,
a bug? Possibly..
This seems to work for some other entities:
community.dynamics.com/.../programmatically-activate-and-deactivate-sla-records-in-dynamics-crm
You might also try to call
service.Update(invoiceToUpdate);
May have to assign the id first: invoiceToUpdate.Id = ..
instead of execute(UpdateRequest), though it's not necessarily going to change anything
