Sales Header CodeUnit Example (Set Dimension Value)

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by HPC Keith

I am looking for an example or documentation for a way of setting a dimension value (not global 1 or 2) for a sales header. I found a question on the community here that someone answered and said that it could be done by using a CodeUnit. I have not created a CodeUnit before and am not sure how they are triggered/fired. Are there other methods of doing this? What is the path of least resistance on accomplishing this?

Hi

Can you please provide more info here? What is the final goal here? Is this a one time deal or ongoing

For one time deal you can use Order -> Dimension and set any dimension.

If this will be customer related then you can go to Customer Card and set the dimension for customer. Then the settings will follow to sales order.

Thanks

Thank you for the response. The goal is an integration. We are creating the sales headers in an ASP.NET web project by posting to the native Web Services in BC (ODATAv4) and we also need to set a dimension value during this process. Each sales header (invoice) will have a value based on logic in our web project and is not based on the customer. Definitely not a one-time thing. From reading Stefano Demiliani's responses to the question I was referencing (and have linked below), he appears to be using C# and I would love to have native integration and SDK for BC, but have not found any resources on how to set something like that up.

Thanks for info.

I believe you need help from people with development background. You can try the following forum

dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

or go to Stefano blog and see if he can provide more details https://demiliani.com/

But this is my understanding of his post

I believe he is using AL language. See below for more info. He suggested that you create codeunit (Your function needs 4 parameters: Dimension Set ID,Dimension Code,Dimension Value Code,Dimension Value ID.) then go to Web Service in BC and select New and use Codeunit and select your codeunit id and publish this codeunit. Then use this in your end to accomplish what you need.

I hope some developer provide more info.
