Is business logic called when inserting records with AIF

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HenkeNord 459

We are trying to inserting records in ForecastSales table using using an AIF-service that we built by our self.

The service gets triggered and a record is inserted in the ForecastSales table, however some fields are not populated. Are you supposed to write code to trigger business logic (code) to have all required fields updated, or should the AIF to that automatically? When I insert a record manually in the table some fileds are updated, so I hoped the create method in the AIF service replicated a manual insert.

Thanks in advance.

    RE: Is business logic called when inserting records with AIF

    After CIL-compilation I got most parts to work. However I have a problem setting correct inventdim. I can provide an ConfigId in the xml-file, and I know it gets verified (if I enter a configId that's not in the system I gen an error message). The problem is that the InventDim on the forecastSales-row isn't updated. The config field is nested in the xml-file like this.

           <ForecastSales class="entity">

     <Currency>SEK</Currency>

             <CustAccountId>3000</CustAccountId>

     <ItemId>ABC123</ItemId>

             <ModelId>VP</ModelId>

             <SalesQty>25</SalesQty>

             <StartDate>2019-05-28</StartDate>

             <InventDim class="entity">

       <ConfigId>A</ConfigId>

     </InventDim>        

           </ForecastSales>

    Do I have to manually code something to have the forecast row updated?

    You don't need to activate anything to call settablefields and it should call all set* methods. As you can see first thing in the set method is to check that parm method has not been called, so AX should call all set methods each time.

    It obviously uses CIL so check that you built it.

    One more thins, Ievgen. It doesn't seams like my set-methods gets called. I cannot even see that setTableFields-method is called. Do I have to "activate" something to have it called?

    Do you know if the initvalue-method (on the table) is supposed to be called when a record is inserted?

    Yes, I saw that. Good thanks, I'll try...

    Regeneration won't help. AX does not know what code to put there, so you will have to manually create set methods for each parameter you want to have defaulting logic. Then you need to add calls to them into setTableFields() method in specific order as shown in documentation.

    Thanks Ievgen, that helped a lot, though I think you mean Ax<Table> class. My AxForecastSales class hasn't got any Set-methods. I'll regenerate that and see if it works. I also found good code example in AxSalesLine.SetDefaultDimension that I can use.

    Axd<Table> class has 2 sets of methods parm* and set*. Set methods are called when there is no value in inbound message (note empty value still a value). You will write all defaulting logic in set methods, here is documentation with examples docs.microsoft.com/.../about-ax-table-classes

    And then open any existing class, for example, sales order and see how it is done.

    No the fields are not in the parameters and some of them I doubt will be able to have there. For example you could have default invent locations on the items in AX. Information the exporting system doesn't know anything about. But the main question is: Is any business logic called when inserting records with AIF? I mean methods like datatable.initValue() and datatable.insert(). Otherwise, is there a way to add logic that calls this methods in some of the AIF-service classes?"

    No, I mean inserting directly into the table in the AOT. I thought that was as close as inserting records with the AIF I could get.
