Adding a custom field to VendTrans through Post on Pending Invoices

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by chicagoax 50

Hi, 

I have added a custom date field to the Vendor Invoice which is located on the VendInvoiceInfoTable and I need it to show on VendTrans or VendTransOpen table once the vendor invoice has been posted. Does anyone know how to do this? I was thinking of using a data method or adding it to a map? TIA

    If you want to add new field to VendTrans  and pass a vale from VendInvoiceInfoTable  during posting you need to add your code into postCustVend() method of PurchInvoiceJournalPost and initCustVendTrans() of VendVoucher class.

    hey thanks. could you expand a bit further? i am not too familiar with either class. I see the VendInvoiceInfoLine on postCustVend. Do I copy it straight to VendTrans or VendTransOpen? Why do you we need to modify the Vendvoucher class then? thanks again!

    If you check post() method of CustVendVoucher class you will see that all values from custVendTrans get copied to local variables after that in initCustVendTrans() method custVendTrans get cleared and all values are copied back from local variables.

    So you can either create new parm* method on  VendVoucher class to pass new field during postCustVend() and use it in initCustVendTrans() or repeat  logic with saving value from custVendTrans  to local variable before clear.

    Thanks again. That made sense for the most part. Does it mean I also need to add the new field to CustVendTrans table? How will that get it's value? Also in the initCustVendTrans method, the first thing it does is clear. So in the post method, do I need to save it to local variable or does it happen on it own and I just need to copy it back? Thanks again!

    CustVendTrans is not a table, it's a map and yes, you need to add new filed to the map as well. AX assigns vendTrans to CustVendTrans that's how it is getting a value. Before it will clear it you need to save it to local variable in a post() method as I mentioned before.

    CustVendVoucher holds logic that is applicable to both customer and vendor posting, VendVoucher  only vendor specific. If you not going to do similar change for Sales invoice you can leave it in VendVoucher.

    Hey ievegen,

    Sorry for the late reply. Just got around to testing this and it's not working. Can you tell me what the code for the post() method on vendvoucher will look like if I am using the new parm route? thanks
