Updating BatchID on payables batch entry screen using code

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Richard Wheeler 75,848 Moderator

I am creating a C# application that will build a batch of manual checks. These batches will be prefixed with 'APMC-' and then today's date.

I have added a menu option so I only want this change to happen when this menu option is chosen.

When I try to update PmBatchEntryWindow.BatchID on the Payables Batch Entry Window it tells me field is read-only.

Is there any way around this?

    I looked but didn't find much as to why the Batch ID field would be showing as read-only, when by default it's an editable field in the window.

    Hopefully others in the Community will have run into something similar that may be able to shed light on what the cause may be....

    Thanks

    While the prompt is Batch ID, the actual field is Batch Number.

    Richard, time for you to learn some Dexterity techniques or at least use GP Power Tools to prototype your C# code using the .Net Execute window as this will ensure you get the correct field names.

    I am open to suggestions in learning Dexterity. Are there any training videos?

    Hi Richard

    You missed the training at this year's Summit.

    You can try Self Study, but this is not as good as classroom training. Experience has also shown that remote training via screen sharing is also not as good as classroom training.

    The materials are available from

    David, if only there were more hours in a day perhaps I could take a week off for training. Thanks for the links.
