How to set statecode (Draft/Active/Retired) when using dataflow to import products from external database?

Posted on by Olasan 2

Hi community,

I'm using dataflow to import products from an external database into Dynamics (the Product table). After adding an alternate key to both Unit (name), UnitGroup (name) and Product (number) it works all right. However, I am not able to set the statecode/statuscode for the product. Those fields are not existing in  the column mapping section of the dataflow:

I am also unable to find the Option Set for statecode and statuscode - thinking that I might add som alternate keys there as well.

The source database have a column stating wether a product is retired or not, and I want to use that to set statecode in Dataverse as well.

Anyone tried the same?

Thanks in advance,

Ola

    Hi,

    Dataflow is used to Create a new Record.

    Create a Dummy Field and Store the Status then Create a Process

    1. Click Gear Icon at the top

    2. Select Advance Settings

    3. Click Settings --> Select Process --> Click New and input name and select entity

    4. Select When a Record is Created

    5. Add a Step called IF CONDITON Select the Dummy Field which you have Created and (Dummy field = Draft) then Change the Status

    6. Like way add else condition too

    Thanks Ramprakash, this was my conlclusion as well. I was hoping that I had missed something, and that it was possible to actually update this field directly from a dataflow. I can see that this was an "idea" submitted as early as 2019, but as you states - it is not yet possible.

    Ended up with a custom field this time, and just ignores the statuscode all together.
