Create project journal

Posted on by NewWatermelon 327

Hello,

When I use the following code from the cookbook to create project hour journal,

static void ProjJournalCreate(Args _args)
{
        ProjJournalTable jourTable;
        ProjJournalTrans jourTrans;
        ProjJournalTableData jourTableData;
        ProjJournalTransData jourTransData;
        ProjJournalStatic jourStatic;
        ttsBegin;
        jourTableData = JournalTableData::newTable(jourTable);
        jourTable.JournalId = jourTableData.nextJournalId();
        jourTable.JournalType = ProjJournalType::Revenue;
        jourTable.JournalNameId = 'PrjExp';
        jourTableData.initFromJournalName(ProjJournalName::find(jourTable.JournalNameId));
        jourStatic = jourTableData.journalStatic();
        jourTransData = jourStatic.newJournalTransData(jourTrans, jourTableData);
        jourTransData.initFromJournalTable();
        jourTrans.initValue();
        jourTrans.ProjId = 'ProjID-00001-01';
        jourTrans.initFromProjTable(ProjTable::find(jourTrans.ProjId));
        jourTrans.TransDate = systemDateGet();
        jourTrans.ProjTransDate = jourTrans.TransDate;
        jourTrans.CategoryId = 'Re-Army - Fees';
        jourTrans.setHourCostPrice();
        jourTrans.setHourSalesPrice();
        jourTrans.TaxItemGroupId = ProjCategory::find(jourTrans.CategoryId).TaxItemGroupId;
        jourTrans.Worker = DirPersonUser::currentWorker();
        jourTrans.Txt = 'Design documentation';
        jourTrans.Qty = 8;
        jourTransData.create();
        jourTable.insert();
        ttsCommit;
        info(strFmt("Journal '%1' has been created", jourTable.JournalId));
}


I get the following error

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi J. Doe,

    Do you get the same error when you create the journal manually? Have you checked the number sequence setup for project journals in the project parameters? Does the journal name 'PrjExp' exists as project journal name with the revenue type? The abbreviation 'Exp' is usually used for expenses. So, is your setup matching the hardcoded values?

    I don't get the same error when I create the journal manually.

    Yes, the journal name 'PrjExp' exist but I don't how to express the expense type instead of revenue type.

    I don't find a value in the ProjJournalType enum expressing expense.

    My target is to create project expense journal.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your feedback. I think we found the culprit now. The expense type is not a project journal, but a ledger journal. You have to use the LedgerJournalTable, LedgerJournalTrans and LedgerJournalTrans_Project tables for creating expense journals.

    Now I use this job

    static void ProjJournalCreate(Args _args)
{
    LedgerJournalTable jourTable;
    LedgerJournalTrans jourTrans;
    LedgerJournalTrans_Project  jourTrans_Project;
    LedgerJournalTableData jourTableData;
    LedgerJournalTransData jourTransData;
    LedgerJournalStatic jourStatic;
    ttsBegin;
    jourTableData = JournalTableData::newTable(jourTable);
    jourTable.JournalNum = jourTableData.nextJournalId();
    jourTable.JournalType = LedgerJournalType::Cost;
    jourTable.JournalName = 'PrjExp';
    jourTableData.initFromJournalName(LedgerJournalName::find(jourTable.JournalName));
    jourStatic = jourTableData.journalStatic();
    jourTransData = jourStatic.newJournalTransData(jourTrans,jourTableData);
    jourTransData.initFromJournalTable();
    jourTrans.initValue();
    jourTrans_Project.ProjId = 'ProjID-00001-01';
    jourTrans.TransDate = systemDateGet();
    jourTrans_Project.CategoryId = 'Re-Army - Fees';
    jourTrans_Project.CostPrice = 70;
    jourTrans_Project.Qty = 8;
    jourTable.insert();
    jourTransData.create();
    jourTrans_Project.RefRecId = jourTrans.RecId;
    jourTrans_Project.insert();
    ttsCommit;
    info(strFmt("Journal '%1' has been created", jourTable.JournalNum));
}


    and I get this error

    Hi,

    Not sure, but you are doing a jourTable.insert() quite late. I would first finalize the table before doing steps for the lines. Have you used the debugger to see more information about filled table fields and variables?

    I changed the LedgerJournalTable.insert() now like this

    static void ProjJournalCreate(Args _args)
{
    LedgerJournalTable jourTable;
    LedgerJournalTrans jourTrans;
    LedgerJournalTrans_Project  jourTrans_Project;
    LedgerJournalTableData jourTableData;
    LedgerJournalTransData jourTransData;
    LedgerJournalStatic jourStatic;
    ttsBegin;
    jourTableData = JournalTableData::newTable(jourTable);
    jourTable.JournalNum = jourTableData.nextJournalId();
    jourTable.JournalType = LedgerJournalType::Cost;
    jourTable.JournalName = 'PrjExp';
    jourTableData.initFromJournalName(LedgerJournalName::find(jourTable.JournalName));
    jourTable.insert();
    
    jourStatic = jourTableData.journalStatic();
    jourTransData = jourStatic.newJournalTransData(jourTrans,jourTableData);
    jourTransData.initFromJournalTable();
    jourTrans.initValue();
    jourTrans_Project.ProjId = 'ProjID-00001-01';
    jourTrans.TransDate = systemDateGet();
    jourTrans_Project.CategoryId = 'Re-Army - Fees';
    jourTrans_Project.CostPrice = 70;
    jourTrans_Project.Qty = 8;    
    jourTransData.create();
    jourTrans_Project.RefRecId = jourTrans.RecId;
    jourTrans_Project.insert();
    ttsCommit;
    info(strFmt("Journal '%1' has been created", jourTable.JournalNum));
}


    and I still get the same error from this line 

    if (journalTableData.journalVoucherNum() && journalTableData.journalTable().VoucherDraw == JournalVoucherDraw::Entering)

    from this method

    public void create(
    boolean _doInsert           = false,
    boolean _initVoucherList    = true)     // automatic JournalTrans add in voucherList. False if adding all transactions yourself -> better performance
{
    lastLineNum++;

    journalTrans.LineNum  = lastLineNum;

    if (journalTableData.journalVoucherNum() && journalTableData.journalTable().VoucherDraw == JournalVoucherDraw::Entering)
    {
        this.initVoucher(lastVoucher,false,_initVoucherList);
    }

    this.addTotal(false, false);

    if (_doInsert)
    {
        journalTrans.doInsert();
    }
    else
    {
        journalTrans.insert();
    }

    if (journalTableData.journalVoucherNum())
    {
        lastVoucher = journalTrans.Voucher;
    }
}
