Change QuantityType via web services through CreateInventoryTransfer

I am trying to change the QuantityType of an item for damaged goods through web services via the CreateInventoryTransfer method. I am basically transferring the inventory from and to the same warehouse, but I am increasing/decreasing the On Hand quantity and moving it to or taking it away from the Damaged quantity.

I'm having a little trouble with the syntax of creating and assigning the values to quantityTypeFromField and quantityTypeToField in my code. This is what I have so far.

<code>

public string FromQuantityType

{

get

{

return sFromQuantityType;

}

set

{

sFromQuantityType = value;

}

public void Post()

{

Quantity itemQuantity;

QuantityType fromQuantityType;

QuantityType toQuantityType;

// Create a quantity object to specify the amount of the transfer

itemQuantity = new Quantity();

itemQuantity.Value = this.ItemQuantity;

// Create a quantity type object to specify the original type of quantity

fromQuantityType = new QuantityType();

<\code>

When I try to assign the value to fromQuantityType, this.FromQuantityType isn't working and there is no ToString() or anything like that to help convert the value. The error I get is "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'GPI.WMS.DynamicsGPWebservice.QuantityType'. I can post more of my code upon request, but I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious and someone can point it out to me.

Thanks in advance!

Try the below sample code instead of your above code for inventory transfer.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.ServiceModel;

using DynamicsGPWebServiceSample.DynamicsGPService;

namespace DynamicsGPWebServiceSample

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

CompanyKey companyKey;

Context context;

BatchKey batchKey;

ItemKey itemKey;

Quantity itemQuantity;

WarehouseKey fromWarehouseKey;

WarehouseKey toWarehouseKey;

InventoryKey inventoryKey;

InventoryLineKey inventoryLineKey;

InventoryTransfer inventoryTransfer;

InventoryTransferLine inventoryTransferLine;

Policy inventoryTransferCreatePolicy;

// Create an instance of the service

DynamicsGPClient wsDynamicsGP = new DynamicsGPClient();

// Create a context with which to call the service

context = new Context();

// Specify which company to use (sample company)

companyKey = new CompanyKey();

companyKey.Id = (-1);

// Set up the context object

context.OrganizationKey = (OrganizationKey)companyKey;

// Create an inventory key to identify the inventory transfer object

inventoryKey = new InventoryKey();

inventoryKey.Id = "WSINVTRFR00000010";

// Create a batch key object to specify a batch for the inventory transfer

batchKey = new BatchKey();

batchKey.Id = "TRANSFER 1";

// Create an inventory transfer object

inventoryTransfer = new InventoryTransfer();

// Populate the inventory transfer object's required properties

inventoryTransfer.Key = inventoryKey;

inventoryTransfer.BatchKey = batchKey;

inventoryTransfer.Date = DateTime.Today;

// Create an inventory transfer line object to detail the inventory transfer

inventoryTransferLine = new InventoryTransferLine();

// Create an inventory line key to identify the inventory transfer line object

inventoryLineKey = new InventoryLineKey();

inventoryLineKey.InventoryKey = inventoryKey;

// Create an item key object to specify the item

itemKey = new ItemKey();

itemKey.Id = "128 SDRAM";

// Create a quantity object to specify the amount of the transfer

itemQuantity = new Quantity();

itemQuantity.Value = 5m;

// Create a warehouse key to specify the location originating the transfer

fromWarehouseKey = new WarehouseKey();

fromWarehouseKey.Id = "WAREHOUSE";

// Create a warehouse key to specify the location receiving the transfer

toWarehouseKey = new WarehouseKey();

toWarehouseKey.Id = "WAREHOUSE";

// Populate the required properties of the inventory transfer line object

inventoryTransferLine.Key = inventoryLineKey;

inventoryTransferLine.ItemKey = itemKey;

inventoryTransferLine.Quantity = itemQuantity;

inventoryTransferLine.WarehouseFromKey = fromWarehouseKey;

inventoryTransferLine.WarehouseToKey = toWarehouseKey;

// Create an array to hold the inventory transfer line object

InventoryTransferLine[] lines = { inventoryTransferLine };

// Add the array of inventory transfer lines to the inventory transfer object

inventoryTransfer.Lines = lines;

// Get the create policy for an inventory transfer

inventoryTransferCreatePolicy = wsDynamicsGP.GetPolicyByOperation(

"CreateInventoryTransfer", context);

// Create the inventory transfer

wsDynamicsGP.CreateInventoryTransfer(inventoryTransfer,

context, inventoryTransferCreatePolicy);

// Close the service

if(wsDynamicsGP.State != CommunicationState.Faulted)

{

wsDynamicsGP.Close();

}

Note: I don't have web services on my environment. So, couldn't provide the exact code. Try the above sample code. Replace the hard coded values with your input values and additionally create the quantity type object to pass the fromQtyType and toQtyType.

Hope this helps!!!
