Posted on by Akbarpasha

Hi All,

Can we have multiple extensions for FreeTextInvoice report DP classes. We have some new customisation , but there is already a extension class for adding a new field.

We have to check the existing field value , if it is empty them need to populate value from one place.

Please advice us.

Regards,

Akbar

Hi Akbar,

You can add multiple extensions. But if you already have an extension class created, it is better you keep all your changes in the same class only. Is there any particular reason you are looking to create another extension?

Thank you Gunjan for quick response.

In the existing extension class, 2 field values for temp tables has assigned.

But for new change, there is a FreeTextInvoice Id field is containing 2 types of IDs, for one type the description is populating as expected in report, but another type the description is missing, we need check and assign the description value.

Akbar

Hi Akbar,

You can use the same extension class for this change as well. It will be easier to locate the changes for other developers too, since all the changes related to free text invoice DP will be in a single extension class. You could add a comment for the new logic that you are going to write for the new Description field.

Thanks Gunjan for the inputs.

We are trying to populate one field into temp table, is populating only for one type of invoices in free text invoice form ex: FI***,

It is not populating for the another type of invoices ilke FT***,

Even we tried to give the hard coded manual value from DP extension class , still this value also populating for FI*** not for FT***.

Please advice how we can proceed.

Regards,

Akbar

Hi Akbar,

Have you tried to debug to check why it is working for one free text invoice and not the other other one? Might be that your extended method is not getting called for the free text invoice - FT**.

Please share your code here. Maybe we can understand what might be going wrong for you.

Hi Gunjan,

In the existing extension class , below methods called:

[ExtensionOf(classStr(FreeTextInvoiceDP))]
final class ****FreeTextInvoiceDP_Extension
{
protected void populateFreeTextInvoiceTmp(
CustInvoiceJour _custInvoiceJour,
CustInvoiceTrans _custInvoiceTrans,
TaxSpec _taxSpec,
CustPaymSchedLine _custPaymSchedLine,
CustTrans _prepaymentCustTrans,
TaxTrans _prepaymentTaxTrans)
{
next populateFreeTextInvoiceTmp(
_custInvoiceJour,
_custInvoiceTrans,
_taxSpec,
_custPaymSchedLine,
_prepaymentCustTrans,
_prepaymentTaxTrans);

freeTextInvoiceTmp.TaxCode = _custInvoiceTrans.TaxItemGroup;

freeTextInvoiceTmp.Name = "Invoice text"; ==> This we have hard coded here which is working only for FI*** not for FT***

}

}

Hi Akbar,

This should work for you, unless this field is being updated anywhere else in case of FT*** invoices. You could try this. Go to FreeTextInvoiceTmp table, highlight the field "Name". Right click and find references. I can only see the reference in FreeTextInvoiceDP\populateFreeTextInvoiceTmp method in the standard environment.

Another approach could be to create a new field in FreeTextInvoiceTmp extension and assign values to this field. You can then use this field in the free text invoice report design instead of the standard field.

Hi Gunjan,

Application is behaving strange:

Checked 1 option by right click and find references, found only 2 places , one is in standard DP class and second one is in extension class(hard coded one).

When we removed hard coded line , it is showing only in Standard DP class:

Tried with option 2: adding a new field - added a new field, hard coded the value and replaced in report design, deployed the report, performed Build, now for both the invoices FI*** and FT*** it is coming blank. Not sure where is the problem for the new field.

Regards,

Akbar

Hi Akbar,

Did you debug to check if this method - populateFreeTextInvoiceTmp is being executed? While updating the field Name, when you set the value to static text, was Name displaying the static text for FI** invoices?

Hi Gunjan,

Yes, the method is getting executed but I cannot see the values passing into the tmp table as it is showing the below info:

"The name FreeTextInvoiceTmp does not exists in the current context."

do we need to write tmp.insert() after static line?
