Attachment Indicator for G/L Entries

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AK-13051749-0 182
Hello. I am trying to add a custom "Attachment Indicator" field on the G/L Entry table that shows "yes" if the posted entry included attachments and "no" if it did not. I believe I have to create a code unit for this with modify permissions for the G/L entry table. I noticed there are a couple of tables for attachments, but can someone please let me know which attachment table I should check to find if the posted entry had attachments. Also, can someone please advise the best way to trigger the procedure in the custom code unit? Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,
     
    Check Document Attachment table (that’s what the Attachment FactBox uses).
    Don’t store a flag on G/L Entry—calculate it (page field or FlowField) by checking if attachments exist for Rec.RecordId.
    If you must store it, update via Document Attachment insert/delete events, not on posting.

    Attachments are saved in Document Attachment (and sometimes Incoming Document) and are linked to the source posted document such as a sales or purchase invoice.
    The correct approach is to add a Boolean field like Has Attachments to the G/L Entry table and populate it during posting using event subscribers, where you can check whether the source document has any records in Document Attachment and then stamp that result on the created G/L Entries. This avoids post-processing and correctly reflects whether the posting originated from a document with attachments.
