How to clear direct unit cost field after selecting item no. in purchase quote subform

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SammySevens 130

Hi all,

We reuse items for some generic transactions, and as a result, the last direct cost always populates as direct unit cost in the purchase quote subform (purchase line).

I would like to do the following:

  • after a user selects a no. in a line in the purchase quote subform
  • execute a trigger that evaluates the item.type for item.type::Non-inventory
  • Sets the item last direct cost to 0.00, and sets the purchase line direct unit cost to 0.00

I have tried several code approaches, but I can't even get my code to hit a breakpoint, which gives me the suspicion I'm not even writing code in the right place 

Please see some examples below....thank you in advance

    You can use the following code

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Purchase Line", 'OnAfterUpdateDirectUnitCost', '', false, false)]

       local procedure OnAfterUpdateDirectUnitCost(var PurchLine: Record "Purchase Line"; xPurchLine: Record "Purchase Line"; CalledByFieldNo: Integer; CurrFieldNo: Integer);

       var

           Item: Record Item;

       begin

           if PurchLine."Document Type" = PurchLine."Document Type"::Quote then

               if PurchLine.Type = PurchLine.Type::Item then begin

                   Item.Get(PurchLine."No.");

                   if Item.Type = Item.Type::"Non-Inventory" then begin

                       item."Last Direct Cost" := 0;

                       PurchLine.Validate("Direct Unit Cost", 0);

                       Item.Modify();

                   end;

               end;

       end;
