Hi All,

I would like to add a new parameter to the existing class method (see below example). It seems that it is impossible to achieve via class extension.

    public boolean  checkItemDraw(
        InventQty       _inventQty,
        NoYes           _negativePhysical,
        boolean         _addInfo = true,
        PdsCWInventQty  _cwQty = 0
        // additional parameter here //
        )
    {

What would be the best way to achieve it?

Thank you.

I assume this question is about D365FO, therefore let me move it to the right forum.

You're right, you can't add a parameter through extensions. You'll have to design another approach to implementing your requirement. Unfortunately we know nothing about your business requirement, therefore we can't comment on it at the moment.

Hi ShawnDEV,

As Martin mentioned, you can't add parameters via extensions, you can log a request of extension to Microsoft:

If the structure allows it, define a global variable to class. You can filling it with a parm method and using it in the checkItemDraw method.

Hi,

I have checked that this method is called from InventUpd_Picked.updatePickInventTrans (protected) method

I want to add extra parameter _inventTrans.InventTransOrigin().inventTransId as follows

if (!inventOnHandQty.checkItemDraw(_inventTrans.Qty, allowNegativePhysical, true, _inventTrans.PdsCWQty)) //(add) _inventTrans.InventTransOrigin().inventTransId

How can we achieve it?

Thank you

Again - you can't. You must leave the idea of adding parameters and think about a different solution.

If you need our help, tell us what you're trying to achieve from the business point of view.

Hi,

yes it is right that InventTransId can be found from inventMovement class instance.

But I wonder how to get the instance of it in the InventOnhandQty class. The InventOnhandQty class method checkItemDraw is called from InventUpd_Picked class.. but I am having difficulty to get the variable from InventUpd_Picked to the InventOnhandQty class.

Thank you.

I didn't go the details of these classes.

But you can add simple parm method to InventOnHandQty and use it to set/get class variables of InventOnHandQty.

Here's an illustration: you can add new "MyNewMethodForPassingAnyInfo" method to InventOnHandQty via class augmentation ([ExtensionOf...).

Then you can call it from InventUpd_Picked.updatePickInventTrans method and pass whatever info you like:

if (checkOnhand) { InventOnHandQty inventOnHandQty = InventOnHandQty::newPhysicalUpdate(movement, pickInventDimCriteria); inventOnHandQty.MyNewMethodForPassingAnyInfo("Any info"); if (!inventOnHandQty.checkItemDraw(_inventTrans.Qty, allowNegativePhysical, true, _inventTrans.PdsCWQty)) { throw error("@SYS18447"); } }

Is it now clear?

However InventOnHandQty::newPhysicalUpdate method already takes an InventMovement object, which contains quite a lot of information. Perhaps you don't need to pass any additional info.

Hi,

This is D365 and how can we add line 5 to the InventUpd_Picked.updatePickInventTrans method directly? This is application suite class.

Thank you.
