Sales Invoice UpdatePropagation not set

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Zay

We have 2 FlowFields on the Sales Header table that calculate a sum from all the Sales Line on the document. When specific fields on the Sales Line are validated, we are calling a CurrPage.Update to refresh the FlowFields. Doing this works on Sales Quotes and Sales Order. However, it does not work on Sales Invoice. After reviewing, I found that the SalesLines part on the Sales Invoice page does not have the UpdatePropagation property set. When I attempt to add the property to my page extension I get an error that the property cannot be customized. Any thoughts on why the property is not set for Sales Invoices? Anyone know how I could get this to work?

    Hi,

    AL0246 is the error that comes when you try to update a property that cannot be customized. This restriction might be put to preserve the state of object as multiple extensions might be using this object.

    The scenario that you have shared is very interesting. You are right, the "Update Propagation" is set to "Subpart" in Sales Invoice page for Sales Line part. I have tried to find a way but can't.

    One lay man approach is that after putting values in sales line user clicks refresh action at top then it will update the flow fields in header.

    Suggestion for solution:

    As you are saying that the sum of flow fields on header are calculated from line table values. So add these flow fields to line table. And then add in the salesline subform using extension. As Salesline is already added on Sales Invoice so your fields will appear there and also updated.

    You can get inspiration from Standard Sales Invoice page where the totals of all the lines are also kept in the same table and are shown on the sales line sub form. In image below the flow fields that calculate sums are from sales line table and shown on subform.
