AIF Document Services... Setting Default Values?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NR-11010513-0 2

Hello,

When writing to AX using Document Services, does any know where the best place is to add logic to default field values.

I'm not sure whether this logic should be added to the Axd Document Class or to the parameter methods of the data object classes?

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Nick

    Depends if the defaults are regardless of where the document is created from like client , AIF or EP then the best place is to add on the defaultField method of the table.

    See AdvanceLedgerEntry webservice for public sector (fpk layer).

    If you want to defualt the values only when used with web service then I would add the logic to prepareForsave.

    Thanks for your response.

    The defaults would be for the web service only, so I will try setting the values in the prepareForSave method.

    Cheers.

    I've attempted to add the logic to set the default values in the prepareForSaveExtended() method, but this doesn't seem to work. Maybe I am setting it in the wrong place? Below is an example of where I have tried to default the value of an the organization's name.

            // ----------------------------------------------------------------------

            // Process Organization records

            // ----------------------------------------------------------------------

            case #Organization_DataSourceName:

     

                axbc_Organization_DirOrganization = _axBcStack.top();

                //TODO Put validating code for DirOrganization here

     

                //Default value of Organization Name

                axbc_Organization_DirOrganization.parmName("NameSetByService");

     

                switch (_recordProcessingContext)

                {

                    // Ensure Organization record is saved before any of its dependent child records

                    case AxdRecordProcessingContext::BeforeChildRecordProcessed:

                        switch (_childRecord.dataSourceName())

                        {

                            case #PartyLocation_DataSourceName:

                                if (!axbc_Organization_DirOrganization.isProcessed())

                                {

                                    return true;

                                }

                                break;

                        }

     

                        return false;

     

                    // Ensure Organization record is saved

                    case AxdRecordProcessingContext::AfterAllChildRecordsProcessed:

                        if (!axbc_Organization_DirOrganization.isProcessed())

                        {

                            return true;

                        }

     

                        return false;

                }

     

                return false;
