How to update a field by fetching data from other entity by passing 2 keys

Posted on by windyMill 435

Hi Folks, 

Please advice me in a current scenario--

In a form Inquiry (custom Entity)

I have fields- Products ,Region ,ShppingLocation
Also - Product and Region are separate Entity which is linked with Inquiry Entity.

Now I have one more entity - ShippingEntity 
Which have fields - Products,Region ,ShippingPoint
Data --     Products      Region      ShippingPoint
                   Pen            Asia                    China
                   Mobile      Asia                     China
                  TV              Asia                      Seoul
                  Aircaft       Europe                  Paris
                 Camera      North America      USA

Now In Inquiry Form --
When Inquiry Is created its contains some field along with Product eg - Pen , Mobile, TV but Region is always remains blank.
Now if any one select Region of Inquiry entity (which will be a optional filed) then automatic  Shipping location  should get set in this Inquiry location 

So if In Inquiry if Product set to - Mobile
and Region selected is Asia then Shipping location should set -- China     ------ And this information we need to fetch from  ShippingEntity

So we if we pass two key Product and Region to this entity then we can get its  ShippingPoint 

How I can achive this ? Can I go for javsacript or any other way to do ?

Thanks

    Hi,

    The query parematers depend supon teh data type i.e. if it is simple text then you can write the text but if it is a lookup then you need to pass the guid. The easiest way to write a wuery if to use the CRM Rest Builder tool. This will not only generate the query, it cann also execute it and show you the results so that you can change it according to your needs.

    You can download the tool here- github.com/.../releases

    yes on change of region you can fire javascript and fetch shipping point using products and region lookup values.As suggested by ravi you can go for Web Api retrieve call and there should be some relationship between shipping point and products / region.

    Hi,

    You need to use JavaScript/ Web API query to retrieve the details. Please refer the below blog-

    community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-retrieve-lookup-value-and-set-it-on-another-lookup-field-in-dynamics-crm-JavaScript

    To build web api queirs, you can download & use Rest Builder tool.

    Hope this helps.
