Posted on by Community Member

I'm attempting to write a job to setup a number of unit of measure conversion based on information from a CSV file.

I've created an instance of UnitOfMeasureUnitConversion and added UnitOfMeasureUnitConversion_Conv to it to as a new conv but I'm not sure what service I would use to release this to the database. Can anyone help?

After looking into it I have found services to use, delete or edit unit conversions in near every way but not one that allows you to insert conversions in the way you can with products.. Anyone have any ideas?

I've had similar problems with the prices and costs of products. There's a service in place to activate prices but not add them to the tables.

Neither of which is a terribly serious problem as both can be solves simply by inserting data directly into the tables but I've been trying to avoid this I'm always unsure if additional tables need to be updated for the program to function correctly. Does anyone know if diagrams of the table structures and relations are available for AX 2012?

Thanks Abdel, but that seems to be a 2009 solution and I'm working with 2012. No worries though I've solved the problem now.

Hmm.

The below code should be sufficient to create a conversion. not sure why you are trying to do more:

UnitOfMeasureConversion unitOfMeasureConversion; unitOfMeasureConversion.FromUnitOfMeasure = _fromUnitOfMeasure; unitOfMeasureConversion.ToUnitOfMeasure = _toUnitOfMeasure; unitOfMeasureConversion.Product = _product; unitOfMeasureConversion.Factor = _factor; unitOfMeasureConversion.Numerator = _numerator; unitOfMeasureConversion.Denominator = _denominator; unitOfMeasureConversion.InnerOffset = _innerOffset; unitOfMeasureConversion.OuterOffset = _outerOffset; unitOfMeasureConversion.Rounding = _rounding; unitOfMeasureConversion.insert();
