Override Table Methods in D365

Hello,

How can I override the implementation of a table method in an Extension class?

I am developing a custom Workflow for Sales Order, for that i need to override *CanSubmitToWorkflow* method in table. For now, according to my understanding this can only be achieved by Overlayering which definitely is not a good practice. Can someone here guide me if there is any workaround?

Hi Hafiz,

I haven't checked it in D365 yet, but I thought you need to create the method which would be possible in an extension. There is out of the box no "CanSubmitToWorkflow" method, so also not even possible to override.

Did you try it in extension like I shown above ? canSubmitToWorkflow method is available by default on all tables but not visible on table in AOT but shows with IntelliSense. It is available to override in table extension class or you can use option suggested above COC.

David, I tried using Chain of Command, but it is giving this syntax error when i try to call canSubmitToWorkflow:

The next method cannot be invoked in method 'canSubmitToWorkflow' because it's not a Chain Of Command Method.

Below is the code of my class:

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(SalesTable))]

final class SLDSalesOrder_Extension

{

public boolean canSubmitToWorkflow(str _workflowType)

{

boolean ret;

ret = next canSubmitToWorkflow(_workflowType);

return ret;

}

}

Sukrut, Simple method overriding won't work as I can't call super this way.

Hi Hafiz,

You have trying create a chain of command of a method that doesn't exist in the table. This method is a form method.

You need the following:

[ExtensionOf(formStr(SalesTable))]
final class SalesTable_PWTesting_Form_Extension
{
    public boolean canSubmitToWorkflow(str _workflowType)
    {
        boolean ret;

        ret = next canSubmitToWorkflow(_workflowType);

        return ret;
    }

}

Regards.

David, How can cansubmitToWorkflow method go on form? It always is a table method.
Even if I consider its a form method, how would you place it on List Page?

Hi Hafiz,

I have spent 3 days to solve that problem. I have setup worfklow on InventTransferORder form so I do every pre-requirements( Workflow category, approvalis, tasks, workflow types, menuITems ettc.)at backround without no problem.

However I could not override CansubmitToWorkflow method and so I could not activate my workflow.

What I have done to achieve that problem: (no way without overlayering)

I have two model. First is my customer main model. lets name it as CustAX365 model. second is my custom aplication suite model and run under standart application suite model and depends on it. lets name it as CustApplicationSuite365 model.

I have customized InventTransfeTable TABLE on CustApplicationSuite365 level and Add CANSUBMITTOWORKFLOW method. only add, no more action.

I have customized InventTransfeTable FORM on CustApplicationSuite365 level and update Workflow enabled, workflow datasource, workflow type properities on Design node of form.

Then I use Chain of command and create a new class for InventTransfeTable TABLE extension and write my logic to cansubmittoWorkflow method on CustAX365 level.Than it works fine.

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(InventTransfeTable))]

final class InventTransfeTable_Coc_Extension

{

public boolean canSubmitToWorkflow()

{

boolean ret;

ret = next canSubmitToWorkflow();

      if(this.recID && this.WorkflowState == WorkflowState::notSubmitted && this.existLine())

       {

              ret = true;

       }

return ret;

}

}

5. than it works fine and workflow button displayed on form.

Mesut,

Thanks for sharing your observation.

Yet again, it wasn't possible without Overlayering.
