Posted on by maram fraij

I create PR approval mobile work space similar to standard PO approval mobile work space , the issue that I have the create Business logic file includes a code to get a value of display methods on the a from to determine which WF action should be visible .

I apply the same idea applied in standard PO Business logic file shown below but the return value is undefined Also I try to use the following : PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue = data.getPropertyValue('WorkflowWorkItemTable/PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabled'); Also the value undefined the same code used to get another field value and it works , I am unable to find the missing I note that these display method are added to list page and I try to get their values in details page .

var entityContextParts = params.pageContext.split(':');var data = dataService.getEntityData(entityContextParts[0], entityContextParts[1]);var workflowWorkItemRecord = data.getPropertyValue('WorkflowWorkItemTable');var workflowWorkItemData = dataService.getEntityData('WorkflowWorkItemTable', workflowWorkItemRecord);       var PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue = workflowWorkItemData.getPropertyValue('PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabled');var PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey = 'PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabled' + workflowWorkItemRecord;                if (undefined != PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue){   metaCacheService.setData(PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey, PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue);}else{   PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue = metaCacheService.getData(PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey);}

Hi Maram,

Are you aware that Microsoft announced the deprecation of the mobile workspace feature? Support ends in October this year. You can better invest in a Power App.

Hi,
The latest documentation indicates that mobile workspaces are being superseded or deprecated. Please check out the old thread: Finance and Operations (Dynamics 365) mobile workspaces. If you have problems creating a mobile workspace, you may consider another way to avoid investing too much.
Best Regards,
Hana

Hi Maram,

Can you add some more information? What do you exactly mean by 'same idea applied in standard PO Business logic'? Where did you try what coding? I'm not able to imagine what you have done so far yourself.

Hi Andre,

I try the following code , it is same as the logic applied in PO approval mobile workspace. the value of the variable PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue is always undefined so variable approveVisible is always false

//*****

var entityContextParts = params.pageContext.split(':');

var data = dataService.getEntityData(entityContextParts[0], entityContextParts[1]);

var workflowWorkItemRecord = data.getPropertyValue('WorkflowWorkItemTable');

var workflowWorkItemData = dataService.getEntityData('WorkflowWorkItemTable', workflowWorkItemRecord);

var PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue = workflowWorkItemData.getPropertyValue('PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabled');

var PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey = 'PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabled' + workflowWorkItemRecord;

if (undefined != PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue)

{ metaCacheService.setData(PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey, PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue);

}

else

{ PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue = metaCacheService.getData(PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledKey);

}

var approveVisible = Boolean(PurchReqTableApprovalApproveEnabledValue == 1);

Hi Maram,

In which class did you find the original coding? I can then try to verify what and when should happen. Or is it some java script at a particular place in the mobile workspace?

Hi Maram,

I tried to quickly recreate a mobile app from the purchase order approvals, but have a lot of issues to solve to make it suitable for requisitions.

When comparing your coding with the standard from the PO approval, I noticed one difference in variable naming. You start the PurchReqTableApproval variables with a capital, where the PO is using a lowercase for the first characters. Not sure if this would make a difference, but I know that variables are case-sensitive in java.

Anyway, Microsoft announced this week that a preview for a new mobile approval app will be available in April. About two months later, they will be generally available. This approval app includes both POs and PRs. See also the release plan:
